Kabushiki Kaisha Shofu has 3 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, so the pending work is distributed across separate examination assignments.
EGLOFF, PETER RICHARD is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner carries more than that single matter. Counsel should coordinate the portfolio at the claim-strategy level while tailoring responses to the separate examiners and art units.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
