Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Zumex Group S A currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners, yet they are both located within 1 distinct art unit. This structure suggests that while the technical focus of the 2 pending office actions is consistent enough to remain in a single art unit, the company must navigate the review styles of two different individuals.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is LIU, CHRIS Q, who is handling 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since each of the 2 distinct examiners is responsible for one action, the workload is evenly split. The concentration of the 2 pending office actions within 1 distinct art unit provides some administrative consistency. However, practitioners must still address the specific feedback from LIU, CHRIS Q and the other assigned examiner to resolve the pending matters and advance the company's interests in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
