Hydro Extruded Solutions AS is managing 3 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, indicating that each pending matter is being reviewed by a different official. The involvement of 3 distinct art units further shows that the company's current prosecution workload is spread across three separate technical divisions at the patent office.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is DELEON, DARIO ANTONIO, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. This means that the workload is evenly split, with each of the 3 distinct examiners handling 1 of the 3 pending office actions. For practitioners, this distribution requires a versatile strategy that can address the specific standards of 3 distinct art units and the individual perspectives of three different examiners. The data reflects a highly diversified prosecution landscape for the company's current patenting activities in the medical devices and mechanical engineering sector.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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.
