Beijing Kohler Ltd. has 3 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct art units and distinct examiners. Atif H Chaudry is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. Because each of the 3 pending office actions is assigned to a different examiner, there is no overlap in the current prosecution workload.
Practitioners must navigate the 3 distinct art units without the benefit of shared examiner interactions. The presence of 1 pending office action under Atif H Chaudry represents the current assignment for this portfolio. Successful prosecution will require specific arguments for each of the examiners involved in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering filings.
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.
