Mcp Ip LLC has 9 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 6 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, indicating both repeated and distributed examination relationships within the portfolio.
NICONOVICH, ALEXANDER R is the busiest examiner, with 4 pending matters. This examiner represents the clearest concentration in the listed docket, making a coordinated review of claim amendments, cited references, and outstanding procedural issues particularly useful for those cases. The remaining matters should still be evaluated by art unit and examiner, because the broader distribution indicates that a single response template may not address every prosecution context.
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 (22%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (78%) |
