1 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 1 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Körber Pharma Packaging GmbH currently has 1 pending office action in the Communications technology area. This single active matter is being handled by 1 distinct examiner within 1 distinct art unit. Such a concentrated prosecution profile indicates that the company's current interactions with the patent office are focused on a specific technical niche.
WU, ZHEN Y is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because this individual is the only examiner assigned to the company's pending work, the immediate success of the prosecution strategy depends entirely on the dialogue with this specific official. The presence of only 1 distinct art unit further suggests a narrow jurisdictional focus for the pending Communications claims.
With 1 pending office action in total, the administrative burden on the legal team is currently limited to a single response cycle. This allows for a highly specialized approach to the examiner's requirements. The data shows no distribution of work across other units, reinforcing the singular nature of the current patent office engagement.
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.
