Interactive Games LLC currently has 6 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed among 5 distinct examiners, which indicates that most matters are being reviewed by different individuals. The portfolio is also spread across 3 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's applications fall into a few specific technical niches within the broader mechanical engineering field. This concentration in 3 units may allow for some consistency in the administrative procedures encountered during prosecution.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is LE, THIEN MINH, who is handling 2 pending office actions. This examiner's influence is notable as they oversee a significant portion of the 6 pending office actions. The remaining actions are handled by the other 5 distinct examiners, ensuring that the portfolio's outcomes are not entirely reliant on a single person. Practitioners should monitor the 3 distinct art units for any trends in examination, while paying close attention to the specific requirements of LE, THIEN MINH across their 2 assigned matters.
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.

| §101 only | 1 (17%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (50%) |
