Fricke Und Mallah Microwave Technology GmbH is active in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area with a company patent portfolio that currently shows 1 pending office action. This single action indicates a very specific point of engagement with the patent office. The presence of 1 pending office action suggests that the company's current prosecution resources are dedicated to a single matter within this complex technical field.
The organizational structure of this prosecution is highly centralized, involving 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. This means that the pending office action is not distributed across different units or individuals, but is instead focused in one place. Such a concentrated footprint allows for a direct and consistent dialogue with the patent office, as there are no competing examiner perspectives to manage within the current portfolio.
NGUYEN, BAO D is identified as the busiest examiner, holding 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since the total number of pending office actions is 1, this examiner is handling the company's active prosecution. The alignment of 1 distinct examiner with 1 distinct art unit for this single action highlights a streamlined and focused approach to the company's current patent acquisitions.
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.
