Ingersoll-Rand Industrial U.S. Inc. has 8 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 8 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units, indicating separate examiner assignments with some art-unit overlap.
LONG, ROBERT FRANKLIN is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel can use the repeated art-unit settings to organize technical issues, but each matter requires its own examiner-specific prosecution strategy.
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 | 2 (22%) |
| §102 only | 1 (11%) |
| §112 only | 1 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (56%) |
