Cr Packaging LLC has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 2 actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units. This means that each pending matter is being reviewed by a unique examiner in a unique specialized group, with no overlap in the current prosecution landscape. The use of 2 distinct art units for only 2 actions suggests that the company's packaging technologies are being classified into different technical categories by the patent office.
ALLEN, JEFFREY R is the busiest examiner, handling 1 pending office action. With 2 pending actions and 2 distinct examiners, the workload is evenly distributed between the individuals involved. This ratio between actions and examiners requires the company to manage two separate negotiation processes. Furthermore, because the 2 actions are in 2 distinct art units, practitioners must navigate different sets of art unit-specific guidelines and technical standards. Insights gained from 1 examiner or art unit are unlikely to be directly applicable to the other pending matter due to this lack of overlap.
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.
