Classys Inc. is currently managing 3 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct art units, showing a focused but slightly varied technical scope for the company's mechanical innovations. The company works with 3 distinct examiners, which means that each of the 3 pending office actions is being reviewed by a different individual.
The busiest examiner, CELESTINE, NYROBI I, is responsible for 1 busiest_examiner_pending action. This represents a portion of the company's active office action docket. With 3 distinct examiners involved across 2 distinct art units, the company faces a high degree of examiner diversity relative to its small portfolio size. Practitioners must be prepared to address the specific concerns of CELESTINE, NYROBI I and the other 3 distinct examiners to successfully advance these 3 pending office actions. The focus on 2 distinct art units requires a strategy that can adapt to different technical standards.
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%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
