2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Limis Development B V holds a patent portfolio in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The company currently has 2 pending office actions. These matters are distributed across 2 distinct examiners, ensuring that each application is reviewed by a different official. The prosecution activity is spread across 2 distinct art units, which suggests that the company's innovations in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering span multiple technical classifications.
The busiest examiner is CELESTINE, NYROBI I, who is managing 1 pending office action. This distribution shows that each of the pending office actions is being handled by a different examiner in a different art unit. With 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units involved, the company's prosecution is decentralized. This approach means that the 2 pending office actions are subject to independent reviews by different technical experts 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.
