Iplexxus Holdings LLC is managing 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. PRICE, CRAIG JAMES is the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 pending office action. This indicates a singular and highly specific focus for the company's current engagement with the patent office.
The prosecution of the 1 pending office action is entirely concentrated under 1 distinct examiner, meaning the company's current strategy is focused on a single point of contact. This centralized activity within 1 distinct art unit suggests that the company is prioritizing a specific mechanical engineering innovation. Practitioners should note that with only 1 distinct examiner involved, the prosecution experience will be highly individualized. This singular focus on 1 pending office action reflects a very targeted approach to securing patent protection in this technology area.
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.
