3 pending office actions • 2 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Multivac Marking & Inspection GmbH & Co. Kg has 3 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 3 actions are distributed among distinct examiners, indicating that the count of matters is the same as the count of examiners. The matters are located within 2 distinct art units, showing the technical focus of the portfolio. AHMED, MOBEEN is the busiest examiner, though they are only responsible for 1 pending action.
This distribution means that each of the 3 pending office actions is being handled by a different examiner. With 2 distinct art units involved, the company must manage its prosecution across multiple examination groups. The presence of these pending office actions suggests a small but active pipeline in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector. Because the actions are spread across 2 distinct art units, the company faces variety in examination practices despite the small number of cases.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
