Hurom Co. Ltd. maintains 2 pending office actions focused in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This distribution shows that the company's current prosecution efforts are not centralized under a single official, requiring the management of two separate examiner relationships and art unit guidelines.
The busiest examiner identified in the portfolio is MCPARTLIN, SARAH BURNHAM, who handles 1 pending office action. This accounts for half of the company's total pending actions. Because each of the 2 distinct examiners is responsible for exactly 1 pending action, the workload is perfectly balanced across the current prosecution landscape. Practitioners must prepare for distinct examination styles as they navigate the 2 different art units involved in these filings.
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 |
