Kabam Inc. is currently managing 4 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. Although there are 4 pending office actions, they are all concentrated within 1 distinct art unit. This concentration suggests that the company's medical and mechanical innovations are being reviewed by a single specialized department, providing a consistent departmental context for all active matters.
The prosecution is handled by 4 distinct examiners, with PIERCE, DAMON JOSEPH identified as the busiest examiner for his 1 pending office action. This structure shows that while the company interacts with 4 distinct examiners, the 1 distinct art unit serves as a central hub for all current activity. Because each of the 4 pending office actions is assigned to 1 of the 4 distinct examiners, the company must manage 4 different individual review styles within that single art unit.
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 (33%) |
