The Smart Chip Tray Inc. is managing 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed among 2 distinct examiners. Despite having multiple examiners involved, the prosecution is centralized within a distinct art unit, which suggests that the applications are technically related.
The busiest examiner for the company is ANGELES, JOSE, who is currently handling 1 pending office action. This examiner accounts for a portion of the total 2 pending office actions for the portfolio. The concentration of the workload within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering area means that while the company interacts with multiple examiners, they are likely operating under the same supervisory and policy environment.
Managing the pending office actions across 2 distinct examiners requires a consistent approach to arguments, especially since they are located in a distinct art unit. ANGELES, JOSE is a key figure in this process, holding 1 of the active matters. The focus on medical devices indicates that the company's current legal efforts are directed toward protecting specific physical or clinical innovations.
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.
