Mallen Tech Co. Limited currently has 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These matters are distributed across 2 distinct examiners, meaning each case is being reviewed by a different individual. Furthermore, the portfolio is active in 2 distinct art units, which suggests a variety of technical focuses within the mechanical engineering field.
SANGHERA, SYMREN K is identified as the busiest examiner, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Since the busiest examiner pending count is 1, the 2 pending office actions are split evenly between the 2 distinct examiners. This distribution requires practitioners to adapt to two different examination styles and two separate art unit environments. The focus on 2 distinct art units within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector indicates that while the portfolio is small, it is not centralized under a single administrative unit, requiring a tailored strategy for each of the 2 pending office actions.
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.
