Norwood Industries Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. Examiner NGUYEN, JIMMY T is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, holding 1 pending action.
The presence of 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units shows that the company's current applications are being reviewed independently by different personnel. This lack of concentration requires the applicant to manage separate prosecution tracks for each of the 2 pending office actions. Each matter is being handled in a unique administrative context.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
