Enchannel Medical Ltd. holds a company patent portfolio in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The portfolio has 5 pending office actions. These 5 actions are being reviewed by 5 distinct examiners, resulting in a unique examiner for every pending case.
The 5 pending office actions are distributed across 3 distinct art units. This suggests that the medical device technology being patented falls into several different classification groups. The busiest examiner, TEHRANI, DANIEL, is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action.
With 5 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, the portfolio is moderately dispersed. The practitioner must address the specific requirements of 3 distinct art units while managing the individual preferences of 5 distinct examiners. No 1 distinct examiner has a dominant role, as the busiest examiner pending count is 1. This distribution requires a strategy that can adapt to the standards of 3 distinct art units across the 5 pending office actions.
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.
