Asmpt GmbH & Co. Kg is currently engaged in the patent prosecution process within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The portfolio features 2 pending office actions, which represent the company's active efforts to protect its medical and mechanical innovations. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct art units, suggesting that the technical subject matter of the applications is diverse enough to require review from 2 different specialized groups. This distribution requires a strategy that accounts for the specific technical standards of each art unit.
The examination of these applications involves 2 distinct examiners, ensuring that each pending action is handled by a separate individual. ABRAHAM, JOSE K is identified as the busiest examiner for this portfolio and is currently responsible for 1 pending office action. With 2 examiners, 2 art units, and 2 pending actions, the prosecution workload is entirely decentralized. This structure indicates that each application covers a distinct technical aspect, requiring a tailored approach for each of the 2 separate examiners and their respective 2 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.
