Air Up Group GmbH has 7 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 7 examiners across 5 art units, indicating broad examiner distribution with some concentration in the technical assignments.
PHAM, TUONGMINH NGUYEN is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should maintain consistent disclosure and claim terminology across the portfolio while preparing separately for each examiner.
The five art-unit assignments provide a useful framework for organizing prior-art research and procedural review. The examiner distribution means that a single response model is unlikely to address every matter without adjustment.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (14%) |
| §102 only | 1 (14%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (57%) |
