Charité - Universitaetsmedizin Berlin has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and 1 distinct art unit. The busiest examiner is CHO, DAVID H, who has 1 busiest examiner pending action.
The 2 pending office actions are split between 2 distinct examiners, but both are located within 1 distinct art unit. CHO, DAVID H is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. This concentration in 1 distinct art unit for the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector suggests a consistent departmental review process for the 2 pending office actions. While 2 distinct examiners are involved, the shared 1 distinct art unit likely leads to similar examination criteria. CHO, DAVID H handles 1 busiest examiner pending action, while the other is managed by a second examiner. This arrangement for the 2 pending office actions ensures that the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering applications are being scrutinized by 2 distinct examiners within the same technical group.
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.
