Xii Medical Inc. has 2 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters are assigned to 2 examiners and 2 art units, so each follows a separate examination path.
EVANISKO, GEORGE ROBERT is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The workload is evenly divided, making coordinated device claim positioning useful without treating the matters as a single examiner case.
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.

|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
