Yonsei University University-Industry Foundation has 3 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners. BLAISE, BRADFORD CHRISTOPHER is the busiest examiner, currently managing 2 of the 3 pending actions. All current activity is located within 1 distinct art unit, which suggests a unified technical focus for the foundation's pending applications. This concentration in 1 art unit may allow for a more consistent prosecution strategy across the 3 pending actions.
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.
