AngioDynamics Inc. has 5 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The docket involves 5 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, so examiner assignments are more dispersed than the technical groupings.
TANNER, JOCELIN C is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The data indicate no multiple-matter examiner concentration. A consistent device-focused claim strategy can support work across the 3 art units, with individual responses directed to each examiner.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (40%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (60%) |
