A L M T Corp. has 3 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, so each matter has a separate examiner while one art unit handles more than one matter.
NGUYEN, JIMMY T is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should compare the matters for consistent technical terminology while adapting arguments to the two art-unit settings.
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.
