Generac Power Systems Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners and 1 distinct art unit. DESAI, NAISHADH N is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action.
The 2 pending office actions are both located within 1 distinct art unit, showing a centralized departmental review. However, they are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner handles 1 action. DESAI, NAISHADH N is responsible for 1 pending action, which is 1 of the 2 current pending matters in the medical devices and mechanical engineering field. This structure of 2 pending office actions within 1 distinct art unit but across 2 distinct examiners suggests a centralized departmental review but a decentralized individual review. The 1 pending action assigned to DESAI, NAISHADH N represents 1 of the company's 2 current active prosecutions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering area, providing a balanced distribution of work among the assigned examiners.
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.
