Quadpack Industries S A has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 2 actions are being handled by 2 distinct examiners, meaning each pending case is under separate review. The portfolio is active across 2 distinct art units, which indicates that these two matters are being examined by different technical groups within the patent office. Because there are 2 distinct art units involved for only 2 pending office actions, the company faces a diverse examination environment where each case is subject to the specific standards of a different technical unit.
The busiest examiner, OLIVER, BRADLEY S, is currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Since each of the 2 distinct examiners has 1 pending action, the workload is evenly distributed. The involvement of 2 distinct art units suggests that the legal strategy must be tailored to the specific standards of multiple technical divisions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field. The 2 distinct examiners will each bring a unique perspective to the 2 pending office actions currently being prosecuted. This distribution requires a versatile approach to address the varying perspectives of the patent office staff.
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.
