Kyung Il Jung operates a patent portfolio focused on the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. Currently, the portfolio has 1 pending office action. This action is situated within 1 distinct art unit, reflecting a specific technical focus for the pending matter. The alignment of the pending office action with a single art unit indicates a very narrow and specific current prosecution profile for the company's medical device innovations.
The prosecution involves a distinct examiner, Stephen J Castellano. As the busiest examiner for the portfolio, Stephen J Castellano is responsible for the company's active office action. The presence of only one distinct examiner for the entire portfolio's active matters means that all current USPTO interaction is concentrated with this one individual. This relationship between the pending action and Stephen J Castellano simplifies the current prosecution landscape, as the company only needs to manage a single examiner relationship within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector.
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.
