2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Odfjell Oceanwind AS is currently managing 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 2 actions are distributed between 2 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is reviewing an application. Both matters are situated within 1 distinct art unit, which suggests that the technical subject matter of the 2 pending office actions is related.
The busiest examiner, EKIERT, TERESA M, is responsible for 1 pending action. Because there are 2 distinct examiners for the 2 pending office actions, the company must navigate different examination styles. However, the concentration in 1 distinct art unit within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector may provide a consistent administrative framework for both cases. Practitioners should monitor the 1 distinct art unit for trends while addressing the unique concerns raised by EKIERT, TERESA M and the other assigned examiner in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field.
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.
