Pfanner Schutzbekleidung GmbH has 9 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 9 distinct examiners across 4 distinct art units. Examiner assignments are fully distributed, while the smaller art-unit figure indicates that the portfolio is grouped within a limited set of technical areas.
TUMEBO, TSION M is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The data shows no recurring examiner concentration. Coordination by art unit may be more useful than examiner-based coordination, provided that each matter’s claim language and office-action record receive separate review.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (11%) |
| §112 only | 2 (22%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (67%) |
