Acies Medical LLC is currently addressing 1 pending office action within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This matter is being handled by 1 distinct examiner in a single distinct art unit, indicating a very focused prosecution strategy. The alignment of the company's current active application with the identified art unit suggests a specialized technical focus within the medical device sector.
The busiest examiner for the company is HEALY, NOAH MICHAEL, who has 1 pending office action. This examiner currently oversees all pending prosecution for the company's patent portfolio. Because HEALY, NOAH MICHAEL is the only examiner assigned to the pending office action, the company's immediate prosecution outcomes are entirely dependent on the review and internal practices of this specific individual.
The presence of only a single pending office action suggests that the company's current prosecution phase is relatively quiet. While this reduces the immediate burden on the company's intellectual property budget, it also means that the company's future patent position in the medical device space is currently tied to the outcome of this specific matter.
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.
