Shenzhen Core Medical Technology Co. Ltd. is managing 3 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is responsible for one case. All 3 pending office actions are concentrated within 1 distinct art unit, indicating a very specific technical focus. This concentration in 1 distinct art unit suggests that the company's medical technology innovations are being reviewed by a single specialized group at the USPTO.
SOLOMON, JOSHUA BRENDON is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action. This is consistent with the 3 distinct examiners each handling one of the 3 pending office actions. The involvement of 1 distinct art unit for all 3 pending office actions means that the company's prosecution strategy can be highly focused on the standards of that specific technical division. Despite the involvement of 3 distinct examiners, the shared 1 distinct art unit provides a consistent technical framework for the company's 3 pending office actions.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
