Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH has 4 pending office actions currently active in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 4 actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners, ensuring that each pending matter is reviewed by a different individual. This lack of examiner overlap suggests that prosecution results for the 4 pending office actions are independent of one another.
The portfolio is also spread across 4 distinct art units, matching the count of examiners. NGUYEN, DUSTIN T is the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 pending office action. This distribution across 4 distinct art units indicates that the company's current patenting activity is technically diverse and widely dispersed within the patent office's mechanical engineering divisions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (75%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
