Evapco Inc. has 5 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed among 5 distinct examiners. The prosecution activity takes place across 4 distinct art units.
Khaled Ahmed Ali Al Samiri is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, overseeing 1 pending office action. With 5 distinct examiners for 5 pending actions, each examiner is responsible for a single matter. The involvement of 4 distinct art units indicates that these mechanical engineering filings are technically diverse enough to be classified into several different specialized groups. Practitioners should note that the 5 pending office actions are spread across 4 distinct art units, requiring a strategy that accounts for multiple technical review standards. The distribution of 5 distinct examiners ensures that no individual examiner is managing more than one case for the company.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
