Copan Italia S P A has 4 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters are assigned to 4 examiners and 4 art units, which indicates a separate examination setting for each pending matter.
GEHMAN, BRYON P is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The absence of a larger examiner concentration means counsel should organize review by application, examiner, and art unit rather than by a dominant prosecution contact.
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.
