Primetals Technologies Ltd. has 5 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 5 examiners and 5 art units, indicating broad distribution with no repeated examiner or art-unit assignment shown.
ALAWADI, MOHAMMED S is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. Portfolio management should therefore emphasize matter-specific response tracking and internal consistency across separate examination channels.
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 | 2 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
