Xrpro LLC has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 2 pending office actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. NGUYEN, HIEN NGOC is the busiest examiner, handling 1 pending office action. This distribution means that each of the 2 pending office actions is being reviewed by a different person in a different art unit.
There is no overlap in examiners or art units, requiring a unique strategy for each file. The success of the portfolio depends on the individual interpretations of the 2 distinct examiners involved. Practitioners should note that the current workload represents a very small sample of the company's potential engagement with the USPTO. Each matter must be handled as an independent case without the benefit of shared examiner feedback.
With only 2 distinct art units involved, the technical focus is limited, yet the lack of examiner overlap prevents the development of a unified prosecution narrative. Counsel must address the specific requirements of each art unit independently. The 2 pending office actions will likely follow separate paths to allowance or rejection based on the individual styles of the 2 distinct examiners.
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.
