Oqmented GmbH holds 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The portfolio is distributed across 2 distinct art units and involves 2 distinct examiners. Mariam Qureshi is the busiest examiner, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Because there are 2 pending office actions and 2 distinct examiners, the workload is split evenly, with each examiner handling a single case. This distribution across 2 distinct art units suggests a varied technical focus.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
