B/G Ortho Innovations LLC is navigating 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and a distinct art unit. With a single pending action, the company's immediate patent strategy in this field is focused on a single application, making the outcome of this specific case the focus of the portfolio's current activity in this area.
BAHENA, CHRISTIE L. is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, handling the pending office action that constitutes the company's total pending workload. This concentration in a single art unit means the prosecution process is conducted through a single channel. Practitioners can focus their efforts on the specific requirements and historical patterns of this examiner, as no other pending matters exist to provide alternative paths for intellectual property protection at this time. Consequently, the interaction with this individual examiner will determine the expansion of the company's medical device patent portfolio.
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.
