Ali Group S R L - Carpigiani currently manages 3 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The workload is perfectly distributed among 3 distinct examiners, with each individual handling a single matter. This 1 to 1 ratio between actions and examiners ensures that no single person has a concentrated influence over the company's active prosecution pipeline. Practitioners should prepare for 3 independent prosecution tracks with distinct examiner preferences.
The portfolio's administrative reach extends across 2 distinct art units, indicating a focused range of technical classifications for its pending applications. Since the number of 3 examiners exceeds the number of 2 art units, it is clear that multiple examiners are operating within the same specialized groups. Practitioners should monitor whether these art units share common internal policies that might affect prosecution across different applications. This overlap provides a small opportunity for cross-application consistency within the portfolio.
DIAZ, MIGUEL ANGEL is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, yet this individual is responsible for only 1 pending office action. This low concentration of work with the busiest examiner reinforces the observation that the current legal challenges are highly fragmented. The lack of a dominant examiner suggests a balanced prosecution environment where each pending matter is reviewed independently. The company's success is not tied to the discretion of any 1 individual.
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 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
