3 pending office actions • 0 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 5 patents granted in the last 365 days
Moldino Tool Engineering Ltd. is managing 3 pending office actions. These actions are spread across 3 distinct examiners, resulting in a balanced distribution of work. This spread indicates that the company interacts with multiple individuals at the patent office simultaneously.
Sara Addisu is the busiest examiner for the company, currently overseeing 1 pending action. Because the 3 pending office actions are handled by 3 distinct examiners, the company is not dependent on the decision of a single individual for its current portfolio.
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 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
