2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Coomtech Limited has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners but are located within 1 distinct art unit. Bao D Nguyen is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending office action. The consolidation of pending matters into this art unit indicates a specific technical focus for the company's mechanical developments.
For practitioners, the use of multiple examiners within a single art unit indicates that while the technical scope is narrow, the company is interacting with different examination styles. This structure requires coordinating responses that satisfy the specific requirements of both examiners while maintaining a unified strategy for the art unit. The presence of 2 pending office actions shows a moderate level of active prosecution within the medical device sector.
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.
