Emboline Inc. has 4 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 4 examiners and 1 art unit, so examiner assignments are distinct while all reported matters share the same unit.
TANNER, JOCELIN C is the busiest examiner with 1 pending matter. The common art-unit setting may support consistent prosecution analysis across the matters, with separate examiner considerations for each response.
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.
