Breathewave Technologies Inc. operates within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The company's current prosecution activity includes 2 pending office actions. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, which introduces different examiner behaviors into the portfolio's management. However, all activity is contained within 1 distinct art unit, indicating a consistent technical focus for these pending matters. This concentration in 1 art unit implies that the USPTO views these applications as belonging to the same specific technological category.
YABUT, DIANE D is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently handling 1 pending office action. Since there are 2 pending actions and 2 distinct examiners, the workload is split between the assigned officials. This means that each examiner is responsible for a portion of the company's active office actions. The concentration in 1 distinct art unit suggests that while the examiners differ, the underlying technology being reviewed is classified under a single administrative group. This structure allows the company to focus its arguments within the standards of 1 art unit while managing 2 separate examiner relationships.
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.
