Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 3 patents granted in the last 365 days
Biograil Aps maintains 3 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, all of whom are located within 1 distinct art unit. VOKES, KATHLEEN PAIGE is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, holding 1 pending office action. The concentration of 3 pending office actions within 1 distinct art unit suggests a very specific technical focus for the company's patent applications.
Because the portfolio involves 3 distinct examiners but only 1 distinct art unit, the company can compare how different individuals within the same technical group interpret its disclosures. KATHLEEN PAIGE VOKES is one of the 3 distinct examiners contributing to this internal baseline. This scenario allows practitioners to identify art unit-specific trends while managing the individual preferences of each examiner. The 3 pending office actions provide a moderate amount of data for assessing the prosecution landscape within this single art unit.
The Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area requires precision, and having 3 pending office actions allows for a more diversified approach than a single filing. While KATHLEEN PAIGE VOKES holds 1 pending office action, the other two actions are handled by different examiners, providing multiple perspectives within the same 1 distinct art unit. This structure helps the company refine its claims based on varied feedback from within a single specialized group at the USPTO.
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 | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
