Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Algiamed Ltd. is currently managing 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 2 actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners. Unlike the examiner count, the portfolio is concentrated within 1 distinct art unit. This 1 distinct art unit provides the administrative framework for both of the 2 pending office actions currently active for the company.
LEE, ERICA SHENGKAI is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, responsible for 1 pending office action. Because there are 2 pending office actions in total, the workload is shared equally between the 2 distinct examiners. No single examiner holds a majority of the cases, as the 1 action assigned to LEE, ERICA SHENGKAI 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 concentration in 1 distinct art unit suggests that the company's Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering innovations fall under a single technical classification. However, the use of 2 distinct examiners for the 2 actions means that two different individuals are reviewing the work within that unit. With LEE, ERICA SHENGKAI handling 1 action, the prosecution is split between the available personnel. Practitioners should monitor both of the 2 pending office actions within this single 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.
