Loewenstein Medical Technology S.A. has 17 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The docket involves 14 distinct examiners across 5 distinct art units. The distribution shows recurring examiner assignments and substantial sharing of art-unit settings, making both examiner-specific review and art-unit coordination relevant.
TOICH, SARA KATHERINE is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending matters. That is the largest stated examiner grouping, so those applications may benefit from coordinated review of overlapping issues before individual responses are prepared.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 | 2 (14%) |
| §103 only | 5 (36%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (36%) |
