Dana Motion Systems Italia S R L is prosecuting a patent portfolio in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The company has 2 pending office actions currently active. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is responsible for one active matter. The workload is divided between 2 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's mechanical innovations span different specialized examination divisions at the patent office.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is LAZO, THOMAS E, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This examiner handles one of the 2 pending office actions currently active for the company. Since the prosecution activity spans 2 distinct art units, practitioners must navigate the specific requirements of two different technical divisions. The data reflects a balanced prosecution pipeline where the workload is split between the 2 distinct examiners involved.
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.
