Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
7 pending office actions • 1 art units • 7 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Eoflow Co. Ltd. is currently navigating 7 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed across 7 distinct examiners, yet they are all concentrated within 1 distinct art unit, which allows the practitioner to focus on the procedural standards of a single technical group. This structure suggests that while the technical field is narrow enough to be handled by 1 art unit, the volume of 7 pending actions has required the office to assign a different examiner to every single case.
The busiest examiner, GOLOVAN, MARK, is managing 1 pending office action. With 7 pending actions and 7 distinct examiners, the workload is distributed such that each examiner handles 1 pending action within the 1 distinct art unit assigned to the company's medical device cases. For a practitioner, this scenario presents a challenge where they must maintain technical consistency across 7 different examiner personalities and styles, all while operating within the specific procedural norms of 1 art unit.
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 |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (86%) |
