Balanse Inc. currently manages 1 pending office action within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This action is assigned to examiner GARLAND, JASON LEE, who also serves as the busiest examiner for the portfolio with 1 pending case. The prosecution is concentrated in a specific art unit and involves a specific examiner.
This narrow distribution suggests a highly focused set of filings or a very early stage in the company's patent development. For practitioners, this means that the outcome of the entire current portfolio depends on the decisions of that examiner within that specific 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.
