Emkinetics Inc. is active in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area with 2 pending office actions. These matters are located within 1 distinct art unit. The prosecution involves 2 distinct examiners, which means the workload is split between different individuals despite being in the same art unit. MORALES, JON ERIC C is the busiest examiner for the company, holding 1 pending office action.
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.
