Cedar Creek Future Pty Ltd. AS Trustee For Cedar Creek Trust is active in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The company currently has 1 pending office action under review. This prosecution is being handled by 1 distinct examiner and is situated within 1 distinct art unit, indicating a very specific and concentrated focus for the company's current patent efforts.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is DANDRIDGE, CHRISTOPHER R., who is responsible for the 1 pending office action. As this is the only pending office action for the company, the examiner's findings will be the primary factor in the company's current patenting success. The entire active portfolio is currently dependent on the resolution of this single matter.
The presence of 1 distinct art unit simplifies the prosecution landscape for practitioners. There is no need to manage the varying standards of multiple art units or the different styles of multiple examiners. With 1 distinct examiner and 1 pending office action, the company's current interaction with the patent office is highly focused within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering domain.
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.
