Mangas Ip B V currently has 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This single matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and is located within 1 distinct art unit. This represents a highly focused prosecution profile with all current activity centered on one specific application. The presence of only 1 distinct art unit for the 1 pending office action confirms that the company's current legal efforts are not spread across multiple technical divisions.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is KIRSCH, ANDREW THOMAS, who is responsible for the 1 pending office action. As there is only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit involved, the entire pending workload is concentrated under this individual's review. This narrow scope of prosecution reflects the current status of the company's Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering filings at the patent office. The 1 pending office action assigned to KIRSCH, ANDREW THOMAS constitutes the entirety of the company's active prosecution pipeline.
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.
