2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Nissin Dental Products Inc. is managing 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, so each examiner is responsible for 1 case. Interestingly, both of these examiners are operating within the same 1 distinct art unit, concentrating the technical review of the company's current applications within a single group at the patent office.
The busiest examiner, BIANCAMANO, ALYSSA N, is currently handling 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This accounts for 1 of the 2 total pending office actions for the company. While the workload is split between 2 distinct examiners, the fact that they are in the same 1 distinct art unit suggests a very specific technical focus for the company's current medical device prosecution. Practitioners should prepare for a consistent technical environment, as both of the 2 pending office actions are being reviewed within the same art unit, even though 2 different examiners are involved in the process.
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.
