Deep Breathe Inc. currently has 3 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are spread across 2 distinct art units and are being reviewed by 3 distinct examiners. This 1:1 ratio of actions to examiners means that every one of the 3 pending office actions is being reviewed by a different person. The 2 distinct art units show a small amount of technical variety for such a small portfolio. Each of the 3 pending office actions must be prosecuted independently.
MATTSON, SEAN D is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending office action. With 3 pending office actions and 3 distinct examiners, there is no overlap in the individuals reviewing the company's applications. Practitioners must handle each of the 3 pending office actions as separate efforts with no shared examiner context to leverage. This decentralized approach for a small number of actions requires the company's legal team to be adaptable to 3 different examiner styles. Practitioners should focus on the specific requirements of the 2 distinct art units to move these 3 pending office actions toward allowance.
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.

| §101 + other | 1 (50%) |
