Sp Industries Inc. has 1 pending office action in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. LAUX, DAVID J is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter, leaving one clear examination channel for the reported case.
The concentrated assignment supports a direct prosecution response. Counsel can focus on the device’s mechanical structure and operation, then tailor amendments or arguments to the pending action without reconciling separate examiner positions. The response should address the stated issue narrowly and preserve useful claim scope supported by the existing disclosure.
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.
