4Jet Microtech GmbH currently manages 3 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 3 pending office actions are being handled by 3 distinct examiners, indicating a completely decentralized review process where each active application is subject to a different examiner's scrutiny. This lack of overlap among examiners means that the applicant must prepare for 3 potentially different sets of examination priorities and styles.
The prosecution is spread across 3 distinct art units, which suggests that the company's innovations in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering touch upon multiple specialized fields. CHABREYRIE, RODOLPHE ANDRE is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Because the busiest examiner handles only 1 pending office action, the workload is distributed evenly across the 3 distinct examiners currently engaged with the portfolio.
For patent practitioners, the involvement of 3 distinct art units means that the 3 pending office actions may be subject to different internal guidelines or average pendency rates. The fact that 3 distinct examiners are involved for only 3 pending office actions highlights a high degree of variety in the prosecution landscape. Success in this portfolio requires a tailored approach for each application to satisfy the specific requirements of CHABREYRIE, RODOLPHE ANDRE and the other two officials.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (67%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
