Magna Powertrain GmbH & Co. Kg has 4 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters are distributed across 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, indicating that the pending work spans multiple examination assignments rather than a single concentrated docket.
ATTEY, JOEL M is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. Because that examiner's assignment represents only part of the portfolio, prosecution planning should account for examiner-specific handling across the separate art-unit assignments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (80%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
