BIONIME Corporation is currently managing 5 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners. All 5 pending office actions are concentrated within 1 distinct art unit, suggesting a unified technical focus for the portfolio.
KREMER, MATTHEW is the busiest examiner for the company, overseeing 2 busiest examiner pending office actions. These 2 actions represent a portion of the 5 total pending office actions. The concentration in 1 distinct art unit indicates that the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering filings are closely related. With 4 distinct examiners involved, the company must manage several different examination styles while operating within the same technical division. This structure allows the company to compare how 4 distinct examiners interpret the same technical standards within the 1 distinct art unit.
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 | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (80%) |
