Haselmeier AG is managing 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This matter is assigned to a distinct examiner and a distinct art unit. This indicates that the company's current patent prosecution is concentrated in a single technical niche within the medical device sector, with no active matters currently pending in other units.
The busiest examiner, LALONDE, ALEXANDRA ELIZABETH, is responsible for the 1 pending office action. Because this is the examiner currently working on the company's applications, the progression of the portfolio is tied to this individual's specific review process. Practitioners should analyze this examiner's past actions to better anticipate the likely trajectory of the case. The examiner's expertise in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field will be central to the prosecution.
With the distinct art unit involved, the company does not have to deal with the complexities of multiple USPTO departments. This allows for a more streamlined and focused prosecution of the active office action. The data shows a specific and limited scope of current patent activity, which can be managed with a high degree of procedural consistency.
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.
