Walzman Innovations LLC is managing 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are spread across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This structure indicates that each pending matter is being prosecuted in a different administrative environment within the office, requiring separate attention for each filing.
The busiest examiner for the company is RODJOM, KATHERINE MARIE, who is currently handling 1 pending office action. This examiner's workload accounts for a portion of the 2 total pending office actions. The presence of 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's innovations in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering are being evaluated under different examination standards or classifications within the patent office.
With 2 distinct examiners involved, the company must navigate different individual perspectives even though the total volume of pending office actions is limited. The fact that RODJOM, KATHERINE MARIE manages 1 pending office action illustrates the lack of examiner concentration in this portfolio. Each of the pending office actions represents a unique point of contact within the assigned 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.
