Brius Technologies Inc. has 3 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters are assigned to 3 examiners across 3 art units, so the available docket is distributed without repeated examiner or art-unit assignments.
BELK, SHANNEL NICOLE is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel can maintain common technical terminology across the matters, but each response should be prepared for its separate examination relationship and art-unit context.
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.
