Hamm AG has 6 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are spread across 3 distinct art units, indicating technical concentration within the USPTO's classification system. The portfolio is being prosecuted before 4 distinct examiners, which is fewer than the total number of 6 pending actions. This distribution suggests that some examiners are reviewing multiple applications within the same technical groups.
LEE, JONG SUK is the busiest examiner for Hamm AG, currently managing 2 pending office actions. This concentration with LEE, JONG SUK is notable as the other pending actions are distributed among the remaining distinct examiners. The pending office actions across the 3 art units suggest that the company's mechanical innovations are being reviewed in relatively consistent technical environments. Practitioners should monitor the 2 actions under the busiest examiner for potential overlap in prosecution strategy within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area.
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 |
