Hübner GmbH & Co. Kg has 4 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. Each action involves a distinct examiner and a distinct art unit.
DUNAY, CHRISTOPHER E is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. Counsel should use matter-specific analysis and avoid assuming that the separate technical assignments will follow the same examination path.
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 | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (75%) |
