3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 2 patents granted in the last 365 days
Brain Tunnelgenix Technologies Corp. has 4 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners, indicating that each examiner is handling multiple matters. All 4 actions are concentrated in 1 distinct art unit, which suggests a very specific technical focus for the portfolio. This concentration of 4 pending office actions in a single art unit indicates that the company's technology is highly specialized.
The busiest examiner, TU, AURELIE H, is responsible for 3 busiest examiner pending actions. This means one examiner is handling the majority of the 4 total pending office actions. The remaining action is managed by the second distinct examiner. Practitioners should note the significant influence of the busiest examiner within the 1 distinct art unit. With 3 busiest examiner pending actions, TU, AURELIE H will have a dominant impact on the company's patent outcomes. The use of only 2 distinct examiners for 4 actions suggests a relatively consistent examination experience. However, practitioners must still account for the different perspectives of the two individuals. This focused structure in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field allows for a coordinated prosecution strategy.
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 (33%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (67%) |
