Kalmar Finland OY is currently navigating 1 pending office action in the Communications technology area. This prosecution is being conducted by 1 distinct examiner within 1 distinct art unit, which indicates a specific focus for the company's current patent efforts. The concentration in a single art unit suggests that the pending technology is specialized within its classification.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is CAI, PHUONG HAU, who oversees 1 pending office action. Because the company's current activity is limited to this single examiner, the prosecution outcome depends on the specific feedback and prior art cited by this individual. This lack of examiner diversity means the applicant has a single point of interaction for their 1 pending office action. For a practitioner, this highlights the importance of addressing the unique requirements of the 1 distinct examiner assigned to the case.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
