Astron Medtech Corporation manages 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 2 actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and are located in 2 distinct art units. This indicates that each of the company's active matters is being reviewed by a different person in a different department. This decentralized structure ensures that the company receives independent reviews for each of its pending applications.
ROBINSON, NICHOLAS A is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 pending office action. Given the total of 2 pending actions, the workload is evenly divided between the 2 examiners. This distribution across 2 art units means that no single reviewer or department has total control over the company's current prosecution efforts. Practitioners should be prepared to handle two unique examiner perspectives while navigating the specific requirements of two different mechanical engineering sections.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
