Spl Int LLC currently has 1 pending office action located within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This 1 pending office action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, MICHAEL MILO, who is also designated as the busiest examiner for the portfolio. The prosecution is focused within 1 distinct art unit, reflecting a concentrated scope of current activity before the patent office.
Because there is only the 1 pending office action, the workload is centralized under MICHAEL MILO. This examiner is responsible for 1 pending action, meaning all current legal strategy for the company's active portfolio must be tailored to the requirements of MICHAEL MILO. The lack of additional pending actions or a second 1 distinct examiner means there are no comparative data points within the company's own current prosecution history to evaluate different examiner behaviors.
The presence of 1 distinct art unit suggests that the company's current intellectual property efforts are specialized within a specific technical niche of Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. Practitioners managing this portfolio can focus their resources on the interaction with the examiner, as there are no other pending office actions or 1 distinct art unit to coordinate with 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.
