Golden Poppy Inc. currently has 1 pending office action within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This single action is situated within 1 distinct art unit, reflecting a focused area of intellectual property development. The prosecution is overseen by 1 distinct examiner, Robert J Utama, who serves as the primary point of contact for the company's active patent applications. This alignment of 1 action to 1 distinct art unit indicates a highly centralized prosecution effort.
Robert J Utama is also the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending office action under his review. Since the total number of pending office actions is 1, this examiner is responsible for the entirety of the company's current prosecution workload. Practitioners should focus their efforts on the specific requirements of the assigned art unit and the individual examiner's history, as there are no other active matters to balance the portfolio's progress. The singular nature of this pending action means that the company's immediate success in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector is currently dependent on the feedback from Robert J Utama.
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.
