Liebherr-Werk Biberach GmbH has 4 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. Those matters are distributed among 4 examiners and 3 art units, showing broader examination coverage than a single-record portfolio.
DINH, THAI T is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Because no examiner carries more than that listed matter, counsel should coordinate responses across the separate examination records while preserving technical consistency across the portfolio.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (25%) |
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
