Adelbert Haas GmbH has 3 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The docket includes 2 distinct examiners and 2 art units, so at least one examiner and one art unit are associated with more than one pending matter.
VITALE, MICHAEL J is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That repeated assignment creates an opportunity to compare examination treatment across the affected matters. The remaining action should still be reviewed separately because the profile does not show that all matters share the same examiner or art unit.
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 |

| §102 only | 1 (33%) |
