Cardiomech AS currently has 5 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are handled by 4 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units. This distribution shows that the 5 pending matters are concentrated within a small number of art units, even though they are reviewed by 4 different individuals.
NERENBERG, RENEE FLORENCIA is the busiest examiner for the company, responsible for 2 pending office actions. With 4 examiners total, the portfolio shows some overlap in examination personnel, as the busiest examiner handles multiple actions. For a practitioner, this means that outcomes in one case might provide insight into others within the same art unit, given that the actions are located in only 2 specific areas of the office. This concentration allows for a more cohesive prosecution strategy.
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 |
|---|---|
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (75%) |
