2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Kfnt Holdings LLC maintains a portfolio with 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners, allowing for different perspectives on the company's filings. Both actions are housed within 1 distinct art unit, suggesting that the technical subject matter is closely related and subject to the same departmental oversight within the patent office for both of the 2 pending actions.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is RODJOM, KATHERINE MARIE, who is currently managing 1 pending office action. This accounts for 1 of the 2 pending actions currently active for the company. The prosecution strategy involves navigating the requirements of 1 art unit while managing interactions with 2 separate examiners, each responsible for one of the pending matters. This balance provides some diversity in examiner feedback while keeping the technical focus within a single art unit for the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
