Recensmedical Inc. has 3 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, so examiner assignments are separate while at least one art unit handles more than one matter.
ROANE, AARON F is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The data supports a matter-specific response plan, supported by comparison of the two art-unit contexts where the portfolio has overlapping examination activity.
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 |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 1 (33%) |
