Ravo B V has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These matters are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that the company's current prosecution activity is concentrated within a specialized group at the patent office. The use of 1 distinct art unit for both pending office actions suggests that the applications are technically similar within the niche of mechanical engineering.
RODGERS, THOMAS RAYMOND is the busiest examiner for the portfolio. This examiner is responsible for 1 pending office action. With 2 distinct examiners managing the 2 pending actions, each examiner is handling a single case. This arrangement allows the company to receive feedback from two different individuals while operating under the consistent technical guidelines of a single art unit. Practitioners should coordinate their arguments to ensure consistency within this 1 distinct art unit, even as they address the individual requirements of the 2 distinct examiners involved in these matters.
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.
