Kitchen Robotics Ltd. has 3 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. SINGH, KAVEL is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter, so the portfolio includes separate examiner assignments with some art-unit overlap.
Counsel should coordinate mechanical and medical-device terminology while grouping technical review where the shared art-unit setting is relevant. The distinct examiner assignments still require separate analysis of claim scope, cited references, and amendment support. A centralized review may identify recurring issues in robotics or device functionality, but each response should remain tailored to the particular pending action.
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%) |
| §102 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
