17 pending office actions • 2 art units • 12 examiners • 0 of 17 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 9 patents granted in the last 365 days
Adrenaline IP has 14 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed across 10 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This indicates a high concentration of technical review within a very small number of specialized groups at the patent office.
WILLIAMS, ROSS A is the busiest examiner for the company, managing 3 pending office actions. The concentration of 14 actions within only 2 art units suggests that the company's mechanical engineering filings are focused on a narrow set of technical classifications. For a practitioner, this means that the standards and interpretations of these 2 art units will have a significant impact on the entire portfolio. While there are 10 distinct examiners involved, the limited number of art units may lead to more consistency in the types of rejections or requirements encountered. The influence of WILLIAMS, ROSS A is also notable, as he handles 3 of the 14 pending actions, more than any other single examiner in this portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 6 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 9 (53%) |
| §103 only | 3 (18%) |
| Double-patenting only | 5 (29%) |
