BRAINDRIP, LLC has 3 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, showing that one examiner handles more than one current action while the docket remains divided across two technical assignments.
DEAL, DAVID R is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. Counsel should examine those matters for recurring claim and disclosure issues, while treating the remaining action as a separate prosecution path with its own examiner and art-unit considerations.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| §112 only | 1 (33%) |
