Atmo Biosciences Limited has 2 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 2 distinct examiners but only 1 distinct art unit, suggesting examiner variation within a common technical examination setting.
TOMBERS, JOSEPH A is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. Counsel can use the shared art-unit context to compare examination issues while preparing responses that address each examiner’s specific record.
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.
