Stabilus GmbH currently has 4 pending office actions. These matters are being handled by 3 distinct examiners, which indicates that at least one examiner is managing multiple cases. CHRISTOPHER P SCHWARTZ is the busiest examiner for the company, with 2 pending office actions currently under review. This volume of activity suggests a focused prosecution phase for the company's current intellectual property interests. With 4 pending office actions and 3 distinct examiners, the workload is distributed across a small group of personnel. The presence of 2 pending actions with the busiest examiner out of 4 total actions reflects the scale of the current portfolio.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| Double-patenting only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (75%) |
