DynaEnergetics Europe GmbH has 5 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are handled by 4 distinct examiners across 3 distinct art units. This small volume allows for a focused prosecution strategy across the limited number of active files.
The busiest examiner, MICHAEL D DAVID, is currently overseeing 2 pending actions. This represents the only instance of examiner overlap, as the remaining actions are distributed among the other distinct examiners. With 3 distinct art units involved, the technical scope of the pending portfolio remains concentrated within a narrow segment of the USPTO transportation and mechanical systems divisions.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (40%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (40%) |
