Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Codonis AG is currently managing 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners but are both located within 1 distinct art unit. This structure indicates that the company's medical innovations are being evaluated by a single specialized technical group.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is EIDE, HEIDI MARIE, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. With 2 pending office actions and 2 distinct examiners, each examiner is handling 1 case. This allows for individual attention to each application while still operating under the umbrella of 1 distinct art unit.
The presence of 1 distinct art unit suggests that the legal and technical standards applied to both pending matters will be consistent. Practitioners can focus on the specific precedents and examination styles prevalent in this unit. With only 2 pending office actions, the active docket is small, allowing for a tailored approach to each of the 2 distinct examiners within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering area.
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 (50%) |
