Chamartin Laboratories LLC operates in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The company currently has 4 pending office actions. These 4 actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners. The matters are spread across 2 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that some examiners are handling multiple cases for the company, while the filings themselves cover at least two different technical sub-categories within the medical and mechanical engineering field.
LYONS, MICHAEL A is the busiest examiner for the company, with 2 pending office actions under review. This examiner is responsible for half of the 4 total pending office actions. The involvement of 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units requires a prosecution strategy that accounts for different examiner preferences and art unit standards. Practitioners should note that the 4 pending office actions are concentrated enough to potentially share some technical or procedural commonalities.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| §112 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
