Wuhan United Imaging Surgical Co. Ltd. has 3 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 3 examiners and 3 art units, indicating one distinct examination path for each matter.
RHODES, NORA W is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner has a larger assignment, so counsel should focus on the individual prosecution records rather than a shared examiner strategy.
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.
