Ocean And Earth Productions Pty Ltd. has 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, KMET, LAUREN ELIZABETH, who is also the busiest examiner for the portfolio. The prosecution is located within 1 distinct art unit, which matches the number of distinct examiners involved.
KMET, LAUREN ELIZABETH handles 1 busiest examiner pending action. This number is equal to the 1 total pending office action for the company, meaning this examiner is responsible for the entire pending portfolio. Because there is only 1 distinct art unit, the technical review is confined to a single specialized group at the USPTO.
The presence of 1 pending office action indicates a singular focus for the company's current prosecution efforts. For a practitioner, the fact that 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit are involved means that the strategy is entirely dependent on the review of KMET, LAUREN ELIZABETH. The 1 busiest examiner pending action represents the full scope of the company's current interactions with the office.
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.
