Heraeus Precious Metals GmbH & Co. Kg currently manages 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are located in 2 distinct art units, indicating that each pending matter is being evaluated in a different technical environment. The prosecution involves 2 distinct examiners, meaning each office action is assigned to a unique individual.
NGUYEN, UYEN T is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 pending office action. This accounts for a portion of the total 2 pending office actions currently active for the company. Because there are 2 distinct examiners for the pending actions, there is no overlap in examiner assignment across the portfolio.
The presence of 2 distinct art units for the pending actions suggests that the company's current USPTO activity is specialized. Practitioners must focus on the specific requirements of these art units and the individual styles of the examiners. The small scale of the pending portfolio allows for a very targeted prosecution strategy. With only 1 pending action assigned to NGUYEN, UYEN T, the workload is evenly distributed across the 2 distinct examiners.
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.
