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 • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Diagnosys LLC currently has 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are being reviewed by 2 distinct examiners, which provides the company with two different points of contact at the patent office. Despite having multiple examiners, the entire workload is situated within 1 distinct art unit. This suggests that the company's technology is highly specialized and falls within a very specific regulatory or technical category in the medical device field.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is TOTH, KAREN E, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Since there are 2 pending office actions in total, the busiest examiner handles a significant portion of the company's current active cases. This level of concentration means that the examiner's perspective will have a major impact on the portfolio's overall progress. Practitioners should focus on the specific standards of the 1 distinct art unit while managing the individual styles of the 2 distinct examiners. The outcome of these 2 pending office actions will be a key indicator of the company's success in securing its mechanical engineering and medical device intellectual property.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
