Orora Packaging Solutions maintains a focused prosecution profile with 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners, indicating a one-to-one ratio between pending matters and examining personnel. This distribution suggests that the company's current interactions with the patent office are highly individualized across its active cases, with no overlap in examiner assignments.
The portfolio is currently active in 2 distinct art units, reflecting a narrow but divided technical focus within its primary technology area. PAGAN, JAVIER A is identified as the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 of the pending office actions. Because each of the 2 distinct examiners handles exactly half of the pending workload, the prosecution experience is likely to be shaped by the specific preferences and historical tendencies of these individual officials. The presence of 2 distinct art units for only 2 pending actions implies that each application is being treated as a separate technical endeavor, requiring tailored arguments for each specific examining group.
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.
