Brain Innovations S R L has 2 pending office actions distributed across the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are being handled by 2 distinct examiners. The portfolio's current activity spans distinct art units, indicating that each pending matter is being reviewed in a different technical environment within the broader medical and mechanical field.
TOMBERS, JOSEPH A is identified as the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action currently assigned. This figure represents a portion of the pending office actions in the total portfolio. The remaining action is managed by the other distinct examiner involved in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector.
The involvement of multiple art units suggests that the company's pending office actions involve different technical sub-specialties. This spread requires the company to navigate multiple examination environments simultaneously. Practitioners can expect distinct prosecution timelines for each pending matter based on the specific art unit's backlog. This distribution across examiners ensures that no single individual at the patent office has total control over the company's current medical device pipeline.
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.
