Amphibio Ltd. is managing 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and a matching number of art units, indicating that the company's current patent applications cover different technical niches within the mechanical field. HURLEY, SHAUN R is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending office action under review.
Because there are distinct examiners for the pending actions, the prosecution strategy must be individualized for each case. The involvement of multiple art units suggests that the subject matter is diverse enough to be classified into different examination categories. This distribution requires the company to navigate multiple sets of examiner preferences simultaneously despite the small total number of active cases. The lack of concentration in a single art unit suggests a broad technical reach. This diversity in examination requires a specific approach to ensure that arguments remain consistent across different technical fields and art units.
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.
