Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Harada Electronics Industry Co. Ltd. currently has 3 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 3 actions are assigned to 3 distinct examiners. While the examiners are diverse, the prosecution is concentrated within 1 distinct art unit, suggesting that the underlying technology for all three matters falls under the same technical classification at the patent office.
The busiest examiner, ROZANSKI, MICHAEL T, is responsible for 1 pending office action. This indicates that the 3 pending office actions are distributed evenly among the 3 distinct examiners. For practitioners, this means that while the technical focus is narrow due to the single art unit, the company must still navigate the individual perspectives of three different people.
The busiest examiner pending count of 1 reflects this even distribution across the portfolio. Having 3 distinct examiners within 1 distinct art unit is an interesting dynamic, as it allows for different interpretations of similar technical subject matter. The company's current prosecution involves managing these 3 pending office actions simultaneously.
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.
