I-Mop GmbH currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This portfolio is distributed across 2 distinct art units, indicating that the company's innovations are being examined under different technical classifications. The prosecution involves a matching number of distinct examiners, which means each pending matter is being handled by a separate individual at the USPTO.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is JENNINGS, MICHAEL DEANGILO, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Since there are multiple pending actions in total, the workload is split between the assigned examiners. Practitioners should note that no single examiner holds a majority of the current workload, requiring a tailored approach for each distinct art unit involved in the prosecution.
The presence of distinct art units within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector suggests that the company's patent strategy covers multiple mechanical or medical specialties. With the pending office actions to address, the legal team must coordinate responses across these separate administrative divisions. Monitoring the specific tendencies of JENNINGS, MICHAEL DEANGILO and the other examiner will be essential for achieving successful outcomes.
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.
