Hexcelpack LLC has 5 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, creating a more concentrated examination structure than a docket with one examiner per matter.
FERRERO, EDUARDO R is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending matters. That assignment is the central examiner relationship in the current portfolio. Counsel can consider coordinated claim construction and response themes for those matters, while separately monitoring the two remaining examination assignments for differing art-unit requirements.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (40%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (20%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (20%) |
