Atm Qness GmbH currently faces 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. Both of these actions are assigned to 1 distinct examiner, MARKMAN, MAKENA, and are situated within 1 distinct art unit. This represents a very concentrated prosecution landscape for the company's active matters.
MARKMAN, MAKENA is the busiest examiner for the company, holding 2 pending office actions. Since all 2 pending office actions are under the review of 1 distinct examiner in 1 distinct art unit, the company can maintain a singular focus in its USPTO interactions. This centralization simplifies the management of the company's current mechanical engineering patent portfolio.
With 2 pending office actions being handled by 1 distinct examiner, the company has the opportunity to build a consistent rapport with MARKMAN, MAKENA. The focus within 1 distinct art unit ensures that the technical expertise required for prosecution remains specialized. This high level of concentration is efficient for managing the 2 pending office actions currently active for the company.
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.
