Contego Medical Inc. currently has 1 pending office action under review. The prosecution of this portfolio involves 1 distinct examiner and 0 distinct art units, indicating a very specific and limited scope of current activity within the patent office's administrative structure. This singular focus suggests that the company is currently pursuing a very targeted intellectual property objective. The lack of multiple pending matters simplifies the current prosecution landscape for the firm.
The busiest examiner for the company is MEDWAY, SCOTT J, who is assigned 1 pending office action. Since there is only 1 pending action in the entire portfolio, MEDWAY, SCOTT J manages all current prosecution for the company. This concentration means that the company's immediate patent objectives are focused on the resolution of this 1 pending action with 1 examiner. The 1 to 1 ratio between the pending action and the examiner means that the progress of the portfolio is entirely dependent on this single point of contact.
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.
