Shih-Ping Wang manages a company patent portfolio in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The portfolio currently has 1 pending office action. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and is situated within 1 distinct art unit. This represents a highly focused and singular point of prosecution for the portfolio's medical and mechanical intellectual property at the patent office.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is NGUYEN, HIEN NGOC, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. As the total number of pending office actions is 1, this examiner is the only individual currently reviewing the pending applications. For a practitioner, this consolidation means that the entire current prosecution effort is subject to the specific interpretations and requirements of this one examiner. The presence of only 1 distinct art unit indicates that the technology being patented is currently confined to a specific niche within the medical devices field. Strategy should be tailored specifically to the history and patterns of the identified examiner to ensure a successful outcome for the single pending action.
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.
