Nexon Korea Corporation currently manages 8 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These matters are spread across 4 distinct art units, suggesting a variety of mechanical and medical technologies. The presence of 8 distinct examiners for 8 pending actions indicates a highly decentralized prosecution process. This distribution means that the company's current innovations are being evaluated by a wide range of technical experts at the patent office.
THOMAS, ERIC M is the busiest examiner, holding 1 pending office action. With no examiner handling more than 1 matter, the company faces a wide array of individual examiner styles and requirements. The distribution across 4 art units suggests some technical clustering, but the high number of 8 examiners means that prosecution strategies must be tailored to each individual case. Practitioners should be prepared for a diverse set of responses and should not expect a uniform prosecution experience across these 8 pending matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 4 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (14%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (43%) |
| §103 only | 1 (14%) |
| §112 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (14%) |
