Inter Science GmbH is managing 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These matters are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and 1 distinct art unit, reflecting a focused but multi-examiner prosecution environment. PEFFLEY, MICHAEL F is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending office action. This examiner handles a portion of the company's active matters.
The 2 pending office actions are split between 2 distinct examiners. The 2 actions are housed within 1 distinct art unit, indicating a technical concentration despite the involvement of multiple examiners. PEFFLEY, MICHAEL F handles 1 of the 2 total pending office actions for the company. The alignment of the pending office actions within the 1 distinct art unit suggests that the company's medical device innovations are being evaluated by a specific technical group.
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 |
|---|---|
| Double-patenting only | 1 (50%) |
