Böllhoff Verbindungstechnik GmbH has 3 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The work is assigned to 2 examiners but remains within 1 art unit, indicating examiner-level distribution without a corresponding spread across art units.
WONG, JOCK M is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The remaining matter is assigned elsewhere, so counsel may benefit from a coordinated art-unit strategy that still accounts for different examiner positions.
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.
