3 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 3 patents granted in the last 365 days
Guala Pack S P A manages 3 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, indicating a concentrated but not entirely singular prosecution effort. This structure suggests that the company's active filings in the mechanical sector are being reviewed by a small group of experts, which may help in maintaining some consistency across the portfolio while still addressing different technical nuances.
The busiest examiner for the company is ELOSHWAY, NIKI MARINA, who is currently handling 2 pending office actions. This examiner's workload represents a majority of the 3 pending office actions total for the company. With 2 distinct art units involved, the company's prosecution is subject to the oversight of two different administrative divisions, though most of the active matters are concentrated under a single examiner. This arrangement requires the company to balance its strategy between the primary examiner's expectations and the requirements of another examiner in a different 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.
