GE Avio S.r.l. has 14 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters span 11 examiners and 5 art units, showing broad examiner participation with greater recurrence at the art-unit level.
MALATEK, KATHERYN A is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending matters. That assignment can support focused preparation, while the wider docket requires art-unit-based issue tracking and separate consideration of the other examiner positions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 3 (23%) |
| §103 only | 2 (15%) |
| §102 only | 1 (8%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (15%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (31%) |
