Shanghai Golden Leaf Med Tec Co. Ltd. has 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 2 pending office actions are distributed across 2 distinct art units, reflecting different technical applications. The prosecution involves 2 distinct examiners, with each handling one of the active cases.
The busiest examiner is RESTAINO, ANDREW PETER, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because each of the 2 pending office actions is assigned to a different examiner, there is no consolidation of the workload. Practitioners must navigate 2 distinct art units and address the individual requirements of 2 distinct examiners to move these cases forward within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector.
The involvement of 2 distinct examiners means that the applicant must develop separate relationships with each examiner. Because the 2 pending office actions are also in 2 distinct art units, there is no departmental overlap to simplify the prosecution. Success in this portfolio depends on meeting the specific technical standards of each unit and the individual preferences of RESTAINO, ANDREW PETER and the other examiner.
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.
