Sta Active LLC currently manages a concentrated patent portfolio within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The portfolio shows 1 pending office action, indicating a specific point of engagement with the USPTO. This action is distributed across 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, reflecting the narrow focus of current prosecution activity.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is BALLER, KELSEY E, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This workload represents the total volume of pending actions for the entire portfolio. The involvement of the distinct art unit suggests that the technical subject matter is being reviewed within a specialized division of the patent office.
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.
