Occlutech GmbH has 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This action is assigned to a distinct examiner, YABUT, DIANE D, who is the busiest examiner. The prosecution is confined to 1 distinct art unit. The portfolio currently has a very narrow prosecution focus with only 1 pending office action.
With a single distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, the strategy should be specifically tailored to YABUT, DIANE D. This singular focus simplifies the management of the pending matter within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering area. Practitioners should analyze the past decisions of this examiner to anticipate potential rejections. The lack of diversity in examiners or art units simplifies the management of the portfolio but places significant weight on this individual prosecution. Future filings may diversify the portfolio, but the current emphasis remains on this solitary pending action.
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.
