Willi Elbe Gelenkwellen GmbH & Co. Kg has a singular focus in its current patent prosecution, with only 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This single action is being reviewed by 1 distinct examiner within 1 distinct art unit. The entire active portfolio at this stage is concentrated in one specific technical and administrative location, which allows for a very focused prosecution strategy but also means that the company's immediate success is tied to a single point of review.
The busiest examiner, AVERICK, LAWRENCE, is responsible for the 1 pending office action. Because there is only 1 examiner and 1 art unit involved, the company's immediate prosecution success depends entirely on the interactions with this specific individual. This lack of diversity in examiners and art units means the prosecution strategy is currently focused on a single point of contact within the patent office. Practitioners should prioritize a thorough understanding of the specific examiner's history and the standards of the 1 distinct art unit involved, as there are no other pending matters to provide alternative paths for patent issuance at this time.
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.
