AMS-OSRAM AG has 3 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters are assigned to 3 distinct examiners across 3 art units, giving the docket separate examination channels.
BLOCH, MICHAEL RYAN is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. Coordinated terminology may improve portfolio consistency, but each response should address the particular examiner and art-unit context.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (25%) |
| §112 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
