Kleemann GmbH has 2 pending office actions currently in progress. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, meaning that each application is being reviewed by a different individual at the patent office. With 0 distinct art units listed, the company's interaction with the patent office is focused on the review conducted by these 2 distinct examiners.
HESS, DOUGLAS A is the busiest examiner for the company, managing 1 pending office action. This indicates a decentralized prosecution process for their current pending actions. For a practitioner, the lack of concentration in a single examiner or art unit means that the company's current patent strategy is being evaluated from multiple perspectives.
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.
