Smarttec Inc. currently has 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This single matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, FRISBY, KESHA. The prosecution is concentrated within 1 distinct art unit, representing a highly focused point of contact for the company's current patent office interaction. Because there is only 1 pending office action, FRISBY, KESHA also serves as the busiest examiner with 1 pending case.
This alignment between the total pending actions and the busiest examiner's workload indicates that the entirety of the company's current patent prosecution is handled by a single individual. Practitioners should focus on the specific examination style of this one examiner within the 1 art unit to manage the company's sole active matter. The concentration of 1 pending action under 1 examiner ensures that the applicant only needs to navigate the preferences and guidelines of a single point of review.
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.
