National University Corporation Hamamatsu University School Of Medicine has 2 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, giving each reported matter its own examiner and art-unit context.
DURHAM, NATHAN E is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The docket is small and fully dispersed across the reported examination assignments. Counsel can therefore focus on the individual office-action record and the specific technical framing of each matter.
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.
