Abc Transfer currently manages 4 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct art units, showing a spread in the technical classification of their mechanical innovations. The portfolio involves 4 distinct examiners, one for each pending matter.
The busiest examiner, LUGO, CARLOS, is responsible for 1 pending action. With the 4 distinct examiners for the pending actions, the company faces a unique review for every active case. This distribution across 3 distinct art units suggests that while the technology area is consistent, the specific systems vary enough to trigger different unit assignments for the 4 pending actions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
