W.O.M. World of Medicine GmbH is overseeing 4 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 4 pending office actions are assigned to 4 distinct examiners, ensuring that no single examiner is handling multiple cases for the company. Despite the variety of examiners, the matters are contained within only 2 distinct art units. This suggests that the applications are similar enough to be grouped together by the USPTO.
ZAMORY, JUSTIN L is the busiest examiner for the company, currently managing 1 pending office action. The concentration of 4 pending office actions into 2 distinct art units suggests that the applications share similar technical characteristics within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field. Each of the 4 distinct examiners is responsible for exactly 1 of the 4 pending office actions. This distribution requires the company to manage separate examiner relationships while navigating the specific standards of the 2 distinct art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 (25%) |
| §103 only | 2 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
