Dna Genotek Inc. is currently navigating 4 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These matters are distributed across 4 distinct examiners, indicating a wide distribution of individual examiner interactions for the company. This spread shows that multiple examiners are simultaneously reviewing the company's active cases, with each examiner responsible for a portion of the 4 pending office actions.
The prosecution activity is organized across 2 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering filings are concentrated in specific technical subgroups. The busiest examiner, FARDANESH, MARJAN, is currently handling 1 busiest examiner pending action. With 4 distinct examiners involved, the company must manage relationships across 2 distinct art units to resolve its current prosecution matters. This decentralized examiner approach across 2 distinct art units requires a coordinated strategy to maintain consistency across the 1 busiest examiner pending action and other matters in the portfolio.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (75%) |
