Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
97 pending office actions • 22 art units • 84 examiners • 0 of 97 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 163 patents granted in the last 365 days
Alcon Inc. manages 94 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are spread across 22 distinct art units, showing a range of medical device innovations. The prosecution involves 81 distinct examiners, which indicates that most of the 94 pending office actions are being reviewed by different people. This ratio of 81 distinct examiners for 94 pending office actions means that the company must navigate many different individual examination styles.
WALKER, OLIVIA is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, overseeing 3 of the 94 pending office actions. This low concentration among 81 distinct examiners means that the company must manage many individual examiner relationships. The 22 distinct art units involved further highlight the technical diversity of the 94 pending office actions. Coordinating the 94 pending office actions across 22 art units and 81 distinct examiners requires a strategy to handle the varying requirements of the medical device sector. Practitioners should focus on maintaining consistency across the 22 distinct art units involved.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 29 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. 29 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 only | 2 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (5%) |
| §103 only | 37 (38%) |
| §102 only | 6 (6%) |
| §112 only | 3 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 40 (41%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (1%) |
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.
