Faac Incorporated has 2 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. KADING, JOSHUA A is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter.
The separate examiner and art-unit assignments call for independent review of each record. Counsel can maintain consistent treatment of mechanical and device terminology while tailoring arguments to the individual findings. The profile does not indicate a repeated examination channel, so direct matter-level preparation is the appropriate focus.
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.
