Century LLC has 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This single matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and is located within 1 distinct art unit. The prosecution is concentrated, as the entire pending workload is currently under the review of a single official. This structure suggests a very specific technical focus for the company's current patenting efforts.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is LETTERMAN, CATRINA A, who handles 1 pending office action. This individual is the sole examiner currently interacting with the company's pending applications. With only 1 pending office action across the entire portfolio, the current prosecution footprint is minimal and highly focused within the specified technology area and art unit. Practitioners should note that the 1 distinct art unit involved represents the totality of the company's current administrative presence.
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.
