Nad S L operates a patent portfolio in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The company currently faces 1 pending office action. This matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and is being processed within 1 distinct art unit. The presence of only 1 distinct art unit suggests that the current application is focused on a specific technical niche within the broader Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field. This focused prosecution environment means that the company's current efforts are concentrated on 1 point of review.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is WAGGENSPACK, ADAM J, who is managing 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since the total count of pending office actions is 1, this examiner is the sole individual responsible for the company's current active prosecution. Practitioners should note that the resolution of the 1 pending office action depends entirely on the interaction with WAGGENSPACK, ADAM J. This focus within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector simplifies the management of the company's current pending workload at the office.
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.
