Acuity Insights Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are being reviewed by 2 distinct examiners. The portfolio is also split between 2 distinct art units, showing a unique placement for each of the 2 pending office actions. This distribution ensures that each matter is handled by a different individual in a separate administrative group.
LANE, DANIEL E is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, responsible for 1 pending office action. Since there are 2 pending office actions in total, the workload is distributed equally between the 2 distinct examiners. No single examiner holds a majority of the cases, as the 1 action assigned to LANE, DANIEL E is matched by the 1 action assigned to the other examiner. This balance across 2 distinct examiners means the company's success is not dependent on any one person's review.
The use of 2 distinct art units for only 2 actions indicates that the company's Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering filings are categorized into different technical niches. With 1 action assigned to LANE, DANIEL E, the prosecution is balanced across the available personnel. Practitioners should treat each of the 2 pending office actions as an independent effort within its respective art unit.
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.
