Dellner Couplers AB has 6 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 3 examiners and 2 art units, indicating repeated assignment within a compact examination structure.
BARZEGAR, PEGAH is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending matters. That concentration makes examiner-specific consistency particularly relevant, and the two-art-unit structure provides an additional basis for coordinated prosecution planning.
Counsel can assess whether recurring claim language or prior-art issues are being treated consistently across the repeated assignments. Responses should preserve useful portfolio positions while addressing the distinct record of each matter.
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.
