Fill Gesellschaft M B H has 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This single action is being reviewed by 1 distinct examiner, DEONAUTH, NIRVANA. As the busiest examiner, DEONAUTH, NIRVANA holds 1 pending office action, representing the entirety of the company's current active prosecution.
The portfolio's activity is confined to 1 distinct art unit, which points to a specialized mechanical or medical focus. With 1 pending office action, the company's current engagement with the USPTO is minimal but highly concentrated. The alignment of 1 distinct examiner with 1 distinct art unit means that the prosecution strategy is not currently diversified across different examination divisions.
This allows the applicant to focus on the specific precedents and tendencies of DEONAUTH, NIRVANA. Managing a single active action in this manner eliminates the need to coordinate different technical arguments across multiple art units. The legal team can prioritize the procedural requirements and substantive preferences of the assigned examiner to streamline the path toward a potential allowance.
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.
