Fresenius Kabi Usa LLC has four pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters are assigned to four examiners and four art units, indicating a fully distributed set of active examination channels. KHAN, OMER S is the busiest examiner, with one pending matter, so the profile does not identify a dominant examiner relationship.
Counsel should manage the matters individually while maintaining centralized oversight of claim scope and technical disclosures. Separate art-unit and examiner assignments may produce different response requirements, making direct transfer of arguments risky. The available data supports coordinated docket control with tailored strategies for each pending medical-device matter.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
