2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Bodiguide Inc. currently has 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These matters are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, which indicates that the company's applications are being evaluated by multiple individuals. However, the prosecution is concentrated in 1 distinct art unit.
MATTHEW KREMER is the busiest examiner for the company, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Because there are 2 distinct examiners but only 1 distinct art unit, the company is dealing with different examiner styles within the same departmental framework. This suggests that while the technology is focused enough to stay in one unit, the individual interpretations of the 2 pending office actions may vary.
The busiest examiner pending count of 1 shows that the workload is evenly split between the assigned examiners. For a practitioner, this means that strategies successful in the 1 distinct art unit might need to be tailored to the specific preferences of MATTHEW KREMER versus the other examiner. The concentration in a single art unit provides a consistent baseline for departmental policy despite the examiner diversity.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
