Shanghai Cultiva Medical Device Co. Ltd. is active in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area with 2 pending office actions. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners within 1 distinct art unit. This concentration in 1 distinct art unit suggests that the 2 pending office actions involve related medical technologies. DEMIE, TIGIST S is the busiest examiner, holding 1 pending office action.
Since there are 2 pending office actions and 2 distinct examiners, each examiner manages 1 of the 2 pending office actions. The 1 distinct art unit provides a consistent regulatory environment for both actions. Practitioners should address the 2 pending office actions by tailoring their approach to the 2 distinct examiners while following the guidelines of the 1 distinct art unit. The presence of 2 pending office actions represents a focused prosecution phase for the company.
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.
