American Wave Machines Inc. is managing 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. The current activity reflects a very specific and limited interaction with the patent office, suggesting a highly focused technological focus for the company's current filings. This 1 point of interaction means that the company's immediate prosecution results are tied to the progress of this 1 application.
KLOTZ, WILLIAM R is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. Because there is only 1 pending action, the prosecution strategy is entirely focused on the feedback from this 1 examiner. Practitioners cannot draw on other concurrent office actions to inform their approach to this specific examiner. The lack of other active matters means that the company's current patent office standing is defined by this 1 interaction and the specific requirements of this 1 examiner.
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.
