H2Creo Corp. is managing 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners but are concentrated within 1 distinct art unit. KING, BRIAN M is the busiest examiner, with 1 busiest examiner pending action. This indicates that the 2 pending office actions are split between two different examiners.
The use of 1 distinct art unit suggests that both applications relate to very similar technical subject matter. Although the company engages 2 distinct examiners, the lack of diversity in art units means prosecution is subject to the specific culture of a single technical group. KING, BRIAN M manages 1 busiest examiner pending action, which is half of the total active workload. This structure allows the company to receive feedback from 2 distinct examiners on similar technical concepts. Practitioners should note that the concentration in 1 distinct art unit may lead to consistent examination standards across the 2 pending office actions.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
