Kurtz GmbH & Co. Kg is active in the Chemistry & Materials technology area with 1 pending office action. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. This represents a focused prosecution profile, with the company's current active matter being handled by a single individual within one specialized technical group at the patent office.
TSUI, YUNG-SHENG M is the busiest examiner for the portfolio. This examiner is handling the 1 pending office action. Because there is only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit involved in the company's pending workload, the prosecution strategy is centered on this single case. This level of concentration means that the company's current patent efforts are subject to the specific interpretations and requirements of one examiner. Practitioners should focus on the technical standards and prior art relevant to the assigned art unit while addressing the specific feedback provided by this examiner.
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.
