Adagio Medical Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This suggests that the pending matters involve different technical sub-specialties within the broader medical device field. For the applicant, this means that they must manage two separate prosecution tracks, each with its own set of examiner preferences and art unit standards. The diversity of 2 distinct art units implies that the company's innovations are being evaluated against different sets of prior art.
SOLOMON, JOSHUA BRENDON is the busiest examiner, managing 1 pending office action. This constitutes 1 of the 2 total pending office actions. With 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, the company must manage two separate prosecution tracks simultaneously. Practitioners should be aware that the feedback from one examiner may not be directly applicable to the other case due to the different art unit assignments. This structure requires a more nuanced approach to managing the 2 pending office actions, as each matter is being handled by a different technical group within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 |
