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
Dongguan Sibeifu Intelligent Technology Co. Ltd. has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These matters are distributed across 2 distinct examiners, which means that each pending application is being reviewed by a distinct individual. This distribution provides the company with 2 separate channels of communication and feedback from the patent office.
The portfolio's active matters are also split between 2 distinct art units. RILEY, JONATHAN G is the busiest examiner, currently handling 1 pending office action. This represents 1 of the 2 pending office actions in the total portfolio. The involvement of 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's technology may span different specialized fields within the broader medical and mechanical category. Managing 2 distinct examiners across different units requires a coordinated response strategy to ensure consistency in the company's patent claims.
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 |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
