Asco L P has 3 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters are assigned to 3 examiners and 3 art units, so the docket has no shared examiner or art-unit concentration.
MURPHY, KEVIN F is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should use application-specific responses while maintaining consistent technical positions across the portfolio.
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 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
