7 pending office actions • 5 art units • 7 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Joseph Vögele AG currently faces 5 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are distributed among 4 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units.
Katherine J Chu is the busiest examiner for the company, managing 2 pending office actions. The remaining 3 actions are spread across 3 other examiners, indicating that while there is some concentration, the company still interfaces with multiple technical divisions at the USPTO.
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.
