Opple Lighting Co., Ltd. has 3 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct art units. The company is working with 2 distinct examiners.
The busiest examiner, FLORES, JUAN G, is responsible for 2 pending office actions. This examiner handles most of the 3 total actions. The remaining action is assigned to the other examiner, indicating a concentration of work with a single individual across the 2 art units. This concentration may allow for a more consistent prosecution approach within the portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
