Ib Appliances US Holdings LLC is active in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The company's portfolio currently features 5 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct art units, indicating that while the company's innovations are within the mechanical engineering sector, they are being reviewed by different specialized groups. This suggests a relatively broad technical scope for the company's current filings.
The prosecution involves 5 distinct examiners, meaning each of the 5 pending actions is being handled by a different individual. CAMPBELL, THOR S is identified as the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action. With 5 different examiners and 2 art units involved, the practitioner must manage multiple parallel prosecution tracks. This requires navigating the various examination styles and requirements of several individuals within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field simultaneously to maintain the integrity of the patent portfolio.
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.
