Diamentis Inc. maintains 1 pending office action within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This matter is being reviewed by MICHAEL J LAU in a distinct art unit. As the busiest examiner with 1 pending action, MICHAEL J LAU represents the entirety of the current prosecution activity for this portfolio. The company's immediate patent goals are tied to the outcome of this single proceeding.
The reliance on a single examiner in a distinct art unit requires a highly tailored approach to that individual's known preferences. Since there is only 1 pending office action, the prosecution strategy lacks the redundancy found in larger portfolios. Practitioners must ensure that the arguments presented to MICHAEL J LAU are robust, as there are no other active cases to offset a negative outcome. This concentrated activity highlights the importance of the examiner's specific interpretation of the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field for the company's intellectual property assets.
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.
