Aida Engineering Ltd. maintains a patent portfolio in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area, currently featuring 2 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct art units, suggesting that the company is pursuing different technical aspects or applications within the medical and mechanical fields.
The prosecution involves 2 distinct examiners, each handling a portion of the workload. NORTON, JENNIFER L is identified as the busiest examiner, although they are responsible for only 1 pending office action. This indicates that the 2 pending office actions are split between the 2 distinct examiners currently engaged with the company's filings.
With 2 pending office actions across 2 distinct art units, the company must manage multiple technical tracks. While NORTON, JENNIFER L manages 1 pending office action, another examiner handles the second. This distribution requires a strategy to address the specific feedback from both of the 2 distinct examiners involved in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector.
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 |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
