Somic Verpackungsmaschinen GmbH & Co. Kg is currently managing 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This shows that each of the company's 2 pending matters is being evaluated by a different examiner in a different art unit, providing no overlap in the current prosecution landscape.
The busiest examiner for the company is AWAIS, MUHAMMAD SUMRAIZ, who is handling 1 pending office action. Since there are 2 pending actions and 2 distinct examiners, AWAIS, MUHAMMAD SUMRAIZ is responsible for 1 of the pending matters. For practitioners, this means there is no central examiner or art unit for the current pending portfolio. Each of the 2 actions in the Transportation area must be handled independently, as they are under the review of different examiners across different art units at this time.
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.

| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
