Creganna Unlimited Company maintains a patent portfolio with 5 pending office actions, reflecting an active level of prosecution. These actions are spread across 5 distinct examiners, which suggests a range of perspectives and potential outcomes within the USPTO. The technology area is identified as Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering, a field that often requires precise technical navigation. With 4 distinct art units involved, the portfolio shows breadth across different examination groups. This distribution across 4 distinct art units indicates that the company's intellectual property spans multiple specialized categories.
The busiest examiner for this company is BURNS, TREMESHA WILLIS, who is currently handling 1 pending office action. This indicates that the workload is evenly distributed, as the busiest examiner pending count is 1 despite the total of 5 pending office actions. For the legal team, this distribution means managing relationships with 5 distinct examiners simultaneously rather than focusing on 1 point of contact. The involvement of 5 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units requires a versatile strategy to address various examiner preferences and departmental standards.
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 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (80%) |
