Robert Karst GmbH & Co. Kg has 2 pending office actions in its portfolio. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, providing different perspectives on the applications. This split in examiner assignment can be beneficial for the company to avoid being subject to the specific practices of a single individual at the patent office. The variety of examiners involved may lead to different prosecution timelines and outcomes for the pending applications.
Tho Dac Ta is the busiest examiner for the company, currently managing 1 pending office action. This structure shows that the company's pending applications are split between 2 distinct examiners. This arrangement requires the company to manage multiple examiner relationships, which can provide a broader understanding of how their claims are being evaluated. This approach can help the company refine its claims based on varied examiner feedback.
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.
