Prosecution is focused within 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, reflecting a streamlined administrative structure for the company's current filings. This focus within the identified art unit indicates that the company's current innovation is being evaluated against a consistent set of prior art and examination standards.
HONG, SEAHEE is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action. This examiner is currently the only official reviewing the company's pending applications. Because the entirety of the company's active prosecution is in the hands of HONG, SEAHEE, the outcome of this single matter will define the company's immediate success at the USPTO.
The presence of only a single pending office action suggests that the company's current prosecution phase is relatively quiet. While this reduces the immediate burden on the company's intellectual property budget, it also means that the company's future patent position in the medical device space is currently tied to the outcome of this specific matter. Practitioners should tailor their arguments to the specific feedback provided by this single examiner.
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.
