Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Weinmann Holzbausystemtechnik GmbH currently has 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners, which means that each pending matter is being reviewed by a different individual. For a practitioner, this distribution of actions to examiners requires a tailored approach for each application, as there is no overlap in the personnel making the decisions on these specific cases.
The portfolio's activity is further divided among 2 distinct art units. This separation into the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector indicates that the company's technology may span different technical niches or administrative categories at the patent office. Managing prosecution across multiple art units often involves addressing different sets of examination guidelines or technical precedents, even when the applications fall under the same broad technology area.
HOLLY, LEE A is identified as the busiest examiner for the company, currently handling 1 pending office action. While HOLLY, LEE A is the busiest, they only manage 1 of the company's 2 active matters. This distribution suggests that the company's prosecution risks are spread across the available examiners, as no single examiner controls the majority of the pending workload. Practitioners should maintain distinct strategies for HOLLY, LEE A and the other examiner involved in the portfolio.
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.
