Zing Semiconductor Corporation has 2 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. Both matters are assigned within 1 art unit but involve 2 examiners, so the art-unit environment is shared while examiner treatment is separate.
QI, HUA is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. Counsel can coordinate art-unit monitoring while maintaining independent responses for each examiner assignment.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
