Carl Geringhoff GmbH & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft is managing 3 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners, providing the company with multiple individual perspectives on its current applications. The involvement of 2 distinct art units indicates a focused but slightly distributed technical review. The busiest examiner, TRAN, JULIA C, is responsible for 1 pending office action, which reflects a balanced workload among the assigned personnel.
The presence of 3 pending office actions across 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's intellectual property is being evaluated within a relatively narrow technical framework. However, by engaging with 3 distinct examiners, the company avoids having its current patent prospects tied to a single individual's review. Because the busiest examiner manages 1 pending office action, the workload is evenly split, ensuring that the company receives feedback from multiple examiners even when those examiners are operating within a limited number of art units.
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 |

| §112 only | 1 (33%) |
