ams AG maintains 3 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are spread across 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This distribution shows that the company interacts with multiple examiners across the assigned art units.
The busiest examiner, JORDAN, DANIEL JEFFERY, is currently handling 1 pending office action. Because the company has 3 pending office actions in total, the remaining actions are managed by the other distinct examiners assigned to the portfolio rather than being centralized under this specific individual.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 | 2 (67%) |
