Atsens Co. Ltd. maintains 4 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These active matters are distributed across 3 distinct art units, reflecting a diverse range of technical subject matter within the portfolio.
The prosecution involves 4 distinct examiners, ensuring that each pending action is reviewed by a different official. ROBERT ANTHONY SKROBARCZYK III is identified as the busiest examiner, though they are currently managing only 1 pending office action. This distribution indicates that no single examiner holds a majority of the company's pending workload.
The presence of multiple examiners across several art units suggests that the company's intellectual property strategy requires navigation through several specialized examination groups. Practitioners should note that the workload is evenly spread, as the busiest examiner handles only a single pending office action. This lack of examiner concentration means that the outcome of the portfolio is not dependent on the discretion of one individual.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 (25%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (25%) |
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
