Water Harvesting Inc. has 3 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. Those matters are distributed among 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, so the workload spans separate examination channels rather than a single recurring assignment.
KIM, SUN U is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner carries more than that listed figure, which supports matter-by-matter preparation and separate review of the applicable art-unit issues.
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 |
|---|---|
| Double-patenting only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
