2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
H Lüdi + Co. AG has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These matters are assigned to 1 distinct examiner. The concentration of these actions with 1 examiner suggests a consistent point of review for the company's current patent filings.
The busiest examiner is GIORDANO, MICHAEL JAMES, who is responsible for 2 pending office actions. Because the portfolio involves 1 distinct art unit, the prosecution is localized within that technical group. This structure provides a direct point of contact for the company's pending patent applications.
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.
