Unicca Inc. has 1 pending office action within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This action is being reviewed by a single examiner and is located within 1 distinct art unit. The current state of prosecution is highly centralized, with only a single active matter currently requiring a response from the applicant's legal team.
HIBBERT, MARY C is the busiest examiner for the company, managing the active case. As there is only a single active matter in the entire portfolio, this examiner is the sole point of contact for the company's current patent office interactions. The presence of a single art unit further emphasizes the narrow scope of the company's current pending applications, suggesting a specialized technical focus.
Practitioners managing this portfolio deal with a single examiner, HIBBERT, MARY C, who is responsible for the active matter. This allows for a focused prosecution effort within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field without the need to navigate multiple art units or examiner styles. The lack of additional pending actions simplifies the management of the company's intellectual property assets at this stage.
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.
