Voxelsensors Srl has 3 pending office actions in Communications. The matters involve 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, so each open matter occupies its own examiner and technical assignment.
FOSSELMAN, JOEL W is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Because no examiner has more than one pending matter, prosecution management should be organized by individual application and art-unit context rather than by a recurring examiner relationship.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
