Maax Bath Inc. is managing 2 pending office actions. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners, meaning each pending matter is being handled by a different individual. LOEPPKE, JANIE MEREDITH is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. The data shows 0 distinct art units associated with these 2 pending actions.
Because there are 2 distinct examiners for only 2 pending actions, the company must navigate two different examination styles simultaneously. The lack of any distinct art units indicates that these filings are currently being processed without a standard art unit assignment, which requires the company to manage these 2 separate examiner relationships without a common technical group framework.
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 |
|---|---|
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
