Boston Scientific Cardiac Diagnostics Inc. currently manages 3 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 3 actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, which means each application is being reviewed independently. The portfolio is spread across 3 distinct art units, matching the number of examiners and pending actions. This indicates that each pending matter falls into a different technical sub-category within the medical device field. ALYSSA MARGO ALTER MORSCHAUSER is the busiest examiner, holding 1 pending office action.
For a practitioner, this one to one ratio between actions, examiners, and art units suggests a highly diversified technical portfolio. Each of the 3 pending office actions requires a unique strategy tailored to a specific examiner and a specific set of art unit guidelines. This distribution minimizes the risk of a single examiner's negative feedback affecting the entire portfolio. However, it also means that there is little opportunity for examiner overlap or technical synergy during prosecution. The company's current efforts in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector are spread across multiple fronts, requiring a broad understanding of different technical classifications. Success will depend on the ability to navigate 3 different prosecution paths simultaneously.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (67%) |
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
