Endoperfect Inc. currently has 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The prosecution is split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This structure indicates that each pending matter is being handled by a different official in a different technical division, preventing any consolidation of strategy across the current workload. The use of 2 distinct art units suggests the company's innovations are categorized into different mechanical or medical specialties.
The busiest examiner, PHILIPS, BRADLEY H, is assigned 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since the total number of pending office actions is 2, this examiner's workload represents a portion of the active matters. Practitioners must navigate the distinct procedural styles of 2 distinct examiners, as no individual official dominates the current portfolio activity. The lack of overlap between the examiners means that success in an application may not necessarily provide a roadmap for the other pending matter. Understanding the specific tendencies of PHILIPS, BRADLEY H is essential for managing this specific 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.
