Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
5 pending office actions • 1 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 5 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Cryo H&I Inc. is currently navigating 6 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. Despite having multiple active matters, all 6 actions are concentrated within 1 distinct art unit, suggesting a very specific technical niche for these applications. This concentration in 1 art unit implies that the company's innovations are being evaluated within a single specialized division of the USPTO.
The portfolio is reviewed by 5 distinct examiners, providing variety in the feedback received despite the single art unit designation. KING, BRIAN M is the busiest examiner for the company, currently managing 2 pending actions. While KING, BRIAN M handles a cluster of 2 actions, the remaining matters are spread among other examiners, ensuring that the workload is distributed among several officials.
The concentration of 6 actions in 1 art unit while utilizing 5 distinct examiners is a notable distribution. It suggests that while the technology is narrowly classified, the USPTO has assigned a relatively large team of officials to evaluate the company's specific mechanical innovations. Practitioners should focus on the specific examination culture of this single art unit while remaining adaptable to the individual preferences of the various examiners involved in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering area.
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%) |
