Vitrafy Life Sciences Limited currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are split across 2 distinct art units, indicating that the company's active prosecution is divided between 2 technical classifications. This division suggests that the company's innovations in this sector are being evaluated by at least 2 different specialized groups within the patent office.
The workload involves 2 distinct examiners, with each examiner handling 1 case. LULTSCHIK, WILLIAM G is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action, accounting for 1 of the company's total 2 pending actions. With 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, the prosecution is distributed across different technical and individual perspectives. Practitioners should be prepared to adapt their strategy to the specific requirements of each examiner and the standards of each art unit, as there is no concentration of workload under 1 individual or group.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
