Samsonite IP Holdings S.a r.l. has 6 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 4 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, showing repeated examination within both the examiner and technical-unit structure.
TAMIL, JESSICA KAVINI is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The examiner is part of a multi-matter cluster, and the limited art-unit structure may support coordinated review of claim language and recurring objections. Counsel should still preserve matter-specific positions where the records differ.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
