Endoquest Robotics Inc. shows an active prosecution profile with 7 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are spread across 6 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units, suggesting a wide-ranging set of patent applications. LUAN, SCOTT is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, managing 2 busiest examiner pending office actions. The distribution of 7 pending office actions among 6 distinct examiners indicates that the company is engaging with a broad cross-section of the patent office's mechanical expertise.
With 5 distinct art units involved, the portfolio covers a variety of sub-technologies within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field. LUAN, SCOTT holds a slightly higher concentration of the workload with 2 busiest examiner pending actions, while the remaining actions are handled by other individuals. This level of activity, involving 6 distinct examiners, requires a coordinated prosecution strategy to ensure consistency across the 7 pending office actions. For a practitioner, the high ratio of examiners to actions suggests that most matters are being handled independently, reducing the risk that a single examiner's bias will affect the entire 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (40%) |
| §102 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (40%) |
