Nzt currently manages 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This case is assigned to 1 distinct art unit, reflecting a focused technical scope for the company's active prosecution. The presence of only 1 distinct art unit indicates that the company's current patentable innovations are being evaluated within 1 specialized technical group at the patent office.
The matter is under the review of 1 distinct examiner, ALLEN, JEFFREY R, who is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. This examiner is responsible for the entirety of the company's current pending workload, as indicated by the 1 busiest examiner pending count. Because there is only 1 pending office action and 1 distinct examiner, the prosecution is centralized. Practitioners should focus their efforts on the specific requirements of ALLEN, JEFFREY R, as this 1 individual manages all active matters for the company at this time.
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.
