VENUS MEDTECH (HANGZHOU) INC. has 3 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners and the same number of distinct art units. PELLEGRINO, BRIAN E is the busiest examiner, overseeing 1 busiest examiner pending action.
This shows a balanced ratio of pending actions to examiners across the units. The distribution indicates that each pending matter is being reviewed independently within its own specialized 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
