Glatt Maschinen- Und Apparatebau AG currently has 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This matter is assigned to a single distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. ETZEL, ALAN RAYMOND is the busiest examiner, holding the pending office action.
The prosecution is currently limited to a single art unit and examiner. ETZEL, ALAN RAYMOND manages the only pending office action, which accounts for all pending activity for the company. This focused presence in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area means the pending action is the sole focus of current patent office interactions. With only a single examiner to engage, the prosecution of the office action is centralized, allowing for a consistent dialogue within the art unit.
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.
