Herborner Pumpentechnik GmbH & Co. Kg has 1 pending office action in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, ROTONDI, CONNOR JON, who is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action. The prosecution is active in 1 distinct art unit, reflecting a concentrated technical focus.
The company currently manages 1 pending office action, which is under the review of 1 distinct examiner. This concentration suggests a very specific technical focus for the company's current interaction with the patent office. ROTONDI, CONNOR JON is the only examiner responsible for the pending matter, making his individual review style the most important factor for the practitioner to consider.
With 1 pending office action and 1 distinct art unit, the company's prosecution is highly centralized. There are no other active matters to provide a broader context or to balance the risk of a single examiner's decision. Strategy should be focused on addressing the specific requirements of ROTONDI, CONNOR JON to move the 1 pending office action in the Chemistry & Materials area toward allowance.
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.
