Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
3 pending office actions • 2 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Giacomini S P A has 3 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 3 actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, meaning every pending action is being handled by a different person. This represents the level of examiner diversity for the current workload.
The portfolio spans 2 distinct art units, reflecting the range of technical areas within the company's medical device filings. WADDY, JONATHAN J is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action, which is consistent with the 3 pending office actions being split among the examiners.
Practitioners should be aware that the 2 distinct art units will each have their own nuances. Because each of the 3 pending office actions is with a different examiner, there is no overlap in examiner assignments. The focus remains on 2 distinct art units across the entire Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering portfolio.
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.
