GRUNDFOS Holding A/S has 6 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 6 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units. Examiner distribution is therefore broad, while the art-unit figure indicates some concentration within the technical-unit structure.
LIN, JASON is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The identified examiner workload does not dominate the portfolio, so prosecution planning should address several independent examiner interactions.
The repeated art-unit assignment provides a practical basis for coordinating technical analysis and claim strategy. Counsel can centralize unit-level issue tracking while preserving separate response preparation for each examiner.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (33%) |
| §103 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (50%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
