The presence of 1 distinct art unit within Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering suggests a specific technical niche. Since there is only 1 pending office action, the portfolio's immediate progress is dependent on this single case. This allows for a very specific response strategy tailored to the individual examiner involved.
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.
