Sybridge Technologies U S Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners but are located within 1 distinct art unit. This structure implies that while the examiners differ, the administrative oversight and general art unit trends will be consistent. The concentration of 2 pending office actions in 1 distinct art unit is a key feature of this portfolio.
HISHAM, MOSTOFA AHMED is the busiest examiner, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. With 2 distinct examiners for 2 pending actions, the company is dealing with a unique reviewer for every open matter. The single art unit involved suggests the technology is narrowly focused within the mechanical engineering field. This requires the company to manage 2 distinct examiner relationships while operating under the guidance of 1 distinct art unit.
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.
