Cortronik GmbH has 4 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 4 examiners across 3 art units, so examiner assignments are fully distinct while one art unit includes more than one matter.
CHOI, YOUNHEE JEON is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. No examiner-level concentration is shown. Counsel can therefore prioritize matter-specific responses while using the shared art-unit placement to compare technical treatment where appropriate.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| §112 only | 1 (25%) |
