Earthlite LLC currently has 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This single action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. With only 1 pending office action, the company's prosecution activity is limited to a single technical matter. The presence of 1 distinct art unit indicates that the application falls under a specific mechanical or medical classification at the patent office. Practitioners should note that the entire pending workload is concentrated in this one area.
JENNESS, NATHAN JAY is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently managing the 1 pending office action. Because this 1 distinct examiner handles the only pending matter, their specific approach to examination will determine the success of the application. Practitioners should focus on the examiner's previous rulings within the 1 distinct art unit. The company's immediate intellectual property goals are tied to the 1 pending office action currently under review. No other examiners or art units are currently involved in the company's pending portfolio in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector.
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.
