Office Action Rejections Models

models.oa_rejections - Data models for USPTO Office Action Rejections API.

This module provides data models for representing responses from the USPTO Office Action Rejections API (v2). These models cover rejection-level data from Office Actions including rejection type indicators, claim arrays, and examiner classification metadata.
