3 pending office actions • 2 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
BRAIN & BEYONDS CO., LTD. is currently managing 3 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These matters are distributed among 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This indicates that each pending action is being handled by a different examiner, while the technical subject matter is located within 2 specific groups at the patent office.
SAHAND, SANA is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending office action under review. With 3 distinct examiners for 3 pending office actions, there is no overlap in the individuals reviewing the company's current applications. The 2 distinct art units involved suggest that the company's medical and mechanical innovations are being evaluated by 2 technical departments. This requires a prosecution strategy that accounts for the specific standards of 2 art units while addressing the individual feedback of 3 separate examiners across the 3 pending office actions.
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.
