Otto-Von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg has a patent portfolio in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The university currently has 2 pending office actions. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners.
The portfolio involves 2 distinct art units. FRENCH, CORRELL T is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending office action. Each of the 2 pending office actions is being reviewed by a different examiner in a different art unit. This indicates that the university's current active prosecution is small but technically diverse within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field.
The 2 pending office actions represent the entirety of the current workload for this entity. With 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, each case is handled independently. Practitioners should prepare for two different procedural paths for these 2 pending actions. The limited scale of the portfolio allows for focused attention on each individual matter.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
