Greif International Holding BV has 2 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters are divided between 2 examiners and 2 art units, with each assignment representing part of the current docket.
BRADEN, SHAWN M handles 1 pending matter and is the busiest identified examiner. Since the other action is assigned to a different examiner and art unit, counsel should maintain separate issue analyses and response strategies.
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.
