Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
4 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Key Tronic Corporation currently has 4 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. All 4 of these actions are assigned to the same 1 distinct examiner within 1 distinct art unit. GROSS, JASON PATRICK is the busiest examiner for the company, currently handling all 4 pending office actions. This high level of concentration means that the company's entire pending portfolio in this area is subject to the review of a single individual, making the examiner's specific preferences and history particularly critical for the company's prosecution strategy.
The fact that 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit oversee all 4 pending office actions is unusual for a portfolio of this size. This concentration allows for a highly focused dialogue between the company and the patent office, as all matters in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering area are consolidated. Practitioners should prioritize understanding the specific examination style of the 1 distinct examiner, as their decisions will impact all 4 pending office actions. This singular focus within 1 distinct art unit simplifies the administrative burden but increases the impact of any single examiner's perspective on the overall portfolio. The busiest examiner manages all 4 of the current pending matters.
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.
