Coway Co., Ltd. has 15 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The portfolio spans 15 distinct examiners and 12 distinct art units. Every action has a separate examiner assignment, while the lower art unit count shows that some technical examination units receive matters from more than one examiner.
ELOSHWAY, NIKI MARINA is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. There is no single examiner concentration to drive portfolio strategy. Counsel should instead use consistent device terminology, claim-development principles, and evidence practices across the different examiner records and shared art unit environments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 4 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 | 4 (27%) |
| §102 only | 2 (13%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (60%) |
