Multivac Sepp Haggenmüller SE & Co. Kg has 5 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 5 examiners across 2 art units, so examiner assignments are broad even though the art-unit footprint is concentrated.
DO, NHAT CHIEU Q is the busiest examiner with 1 pending matter. The shared art-unit setting supports coordinated review of mechanical and device terminology, while the separate examiners call for response strategies tailored to each prosecution record.
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.
