Bioness Medical Inc. manages 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner. The prosecution is currently limited to a distinct art unit. CULLEN, TANNER L is the busiest examiner, as this individual is responsible for the pending office action. The number of pending office actions is equal to the number of distinct examiners.
Practitioners should observe that the prosecution is concentrated within a specific technical group. This arrangement allows for a focused analysis of the examiner's past decisions and preferences. The presence of the pending office action represents the current active workload for the company at the USPTO. Because the busiest examiner, CULLEN, TANNER L, handles the only active case, his specific examination style is the primary factor in the portfolio's progress. The involvement of a distinct art unit indicates that the company's current filings are not spread across different technical divisions. This centralized structure can simplify the management of response deadlines and strategy. The company's activity in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems is currently defined by this individual matter.
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.
