Woongjin Thinkbig Co. Ltd. currently has 1 pending office action within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, reflecting a very specific and limited engagement with the patent office at this stage. For a practitioner, this means the current prosecution strategy is centered on a single application and its specific technical merits within the medical devices field.
The company's active matter is located in 1 distinct art unit. By having only 1 art unit involved, the prosecution process is shielded from the variability that often comes with having applications spread across different administrative groups. Practitioners can focus their efforts on the specific technical standards and examination practices prevalent in this unit, which can lead to more predictable outcomes during the prosecution of the pending matter.
ANGELES, JOSE is the busiest examiner for the company, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Since ANGELES, JOSE is the only examiner with an active case, their individual examination style will be the primary factor in the portfolio's immediate progress. Practitioners should review the examiner's history within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector to better anticipate potential objections and tailor their arguments for the 1 pending action.
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.
