Kidde Graviner Limited currently manages 3 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These matters are distributed among 3 distinct examiners and 1 distinct art unit, showing the prosecution landscape. The busiest examiner, LYNCH, VICTORIA HOM, is responsible for 1 pending office action.
The 1 pending office action assigned to LYNCH, VICTORIA HOM is part of the company's total volume of 3 pending office actions. The remaining actions are split among the other distinct examiners. This concentration within 1 distinct art unit suggests that the company's Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering innovations are technically related. Practitioners should coordinate across the 3 distinct examiners to ensure consistent arguments within the 1 distinct art unit. This structure requires a strategy that accounts for multiple examiner perspectives within a single technical 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (50%) |
