Because there is only 1 pending action, the company's current patenting activity is concentrated on the progress of this specific application.
Rafael Alfredo Ortiz is identified as the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing the 1 pending office action. With only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit involved, the prosecution does not require coordination across different technical groups or multiple examiner relationships. This structure allows for a highly specific advocacy approach tailored to the requirements of the single examiner. The presence of the pending action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering area indicates a singular technical focus at this time. Practitioners must focus on the specific preferences of the examiner to advance the application within the assigned art unit.
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.
