Zhejiang Prulde Electric Appliance Co. Ltd. has 4 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 4 examiners across 4 art units, giving each active matter its own examiner and art-unit assignment.
FLORES SANCHEZ, OMAR is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should manage the applications independently and compare requirements only where the medical-device subject matter creates a substantive reason to do so.
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.

|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (25%) |
