Durham Enterprises Corporation has 4 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, indicating some overlap in both examiner and technical assignments.
GILL, JENNIFER FRANCES is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. Counsel should review those matters together for consistent positions while maintaining separate analysis for the remaining examiner assignment.
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.
