Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
5 pending office actions • 3 art units • 5 examiners • 0 of 5 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
E.G.O. Elektro-Gerätebau GmbH currently has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 2 actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners, which means that each case is being reviewed by a different person. This spread across 2 examiners helps to diversify the prosecution risk for the company's mechanical innovations.
The portfolio is also active in 2 distinct art units, matching the number of pending actions and examiners. This indicates that each of the 2 pending office actions is being handled in a different technical group within the patent office. Such a distribution requires the company to be prepared for the specific requirements of 2 different art units simultaneously.
The busiest examiner for the company is HUNTER, JOHN S, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This 1 action is part of the 2 total pending office actions, showing that the workload is evenly divided. The presence of 2 distinct examiners in 2 distinct art units for 2 actions reflects a decentralized prosecution environment where each case is being evaluated in its own technical and administrative context.
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 | 3 (60%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (40%) |
