Duravit Aktiengesellschaft manages 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are handled by distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units. ERIN LEAH DEERY is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action.
The lack of overlap between the distinct examiners and the 2 art units means each case must be prosecuted as an independent matter. This requires a strategy that accounts for the specific requirements of the different examiners. The company's 2 pending actions are subject to separate review processes.
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.

|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
