2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Claret Medical Inc. is managing 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners, indicating that each active matter is being reviewed by a different official. The portfolio is concentrated within 1 distinct art unit, which suggests that the technical evaluation of these medical device applications is being conducted within a single specialized group at the patent office. This concentration can provide a consistent technical framework for the company's current filings.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is BACHMAN, LINDSEY MICHELE, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. With a total of 2 pending office actions, the workload is split evenly between the two examiners. Practitioners should be mindful of the specific technical standards in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering area while navigating the individual examination styles of the two officials. The single art unit involved means that the overarching technical criteria should remain consistent, even if the two examiners offer different perspectives on the pending matters.
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.
