B. Braun New Ventures GmbH has 12 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 12 distinct examiners across 9 distinct art units. The examiner assignments are fully distributed, while the art-unit data shows some concentration in the technical settings.
ALDARRAJI, ZAINAB MOHAMMED is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The profile does not show a repeated examiner relationship. Prosecution management should emphasize consistent portfolio controls and technical issue tracking, but response decisions will need to remain specific to each application and art unit.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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 + other | 2 (18%) |
| §103 only | 4 (36%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (45%) |
