Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Cardiosight Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This indicates that each pending matter is proceeding through a different examiner and art unit, requiring the company to manage two separate prosecution paths. This distribution suggests that the company's medical device innovations cover different specialized technical areas within the patent office.
WU, PAMELA F is the busiest examiner, handling 1 pending office action. Given the total of 2 pending actions, the workload is divided equally between the 2 distinct examiners. This requires the company to navigate two separate sets of examiner preferences and art unit standards. Practitioners must tailor their approach to the specific tendencies of each examiner while ensuring that the overall strategy remains consistent with the company's goals in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. No concentration of workload exists under a single examiner.
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.
