Gea Farm Technologies GmbH has 2 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. RUFRANO, ALEXANDER TYLER, is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action.
The matters are separately assigned by examiner and art unit, although they share the same technology-area designation. Counsel should use matter-specific response planning and avoid assuming that one examination path will control the other. The profile does not show a repeated assignment.
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.
