Everest Acquisition Entity LLC has 4 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are spread across 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units. LEE, BRYAN MCALLISTER is the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 pending office action. The one-to-one distribution of actions to examiners and art units suggests a diverse range of technical subject matter being prosecuted.
Because there are 4 pending office actions and 4 distinct examiners, the company must navigate 4 different sets of examiner preferences. The fact that these are also spread across 4 distinct art units indicates that the portfolio's technical scope is quite wide within the medical device field. Practitioners cannot rely on a single art unit's trends or a single examiner's history to predict outcomes. Instead, they must develop a tailored approach for each of the 4 pending office actions. This high level of dispersion across the patent office requires a sophisticated management strategy to ensure consistency across such a varied technical and administrative landscape. No single examiner, including LEE, BRYAN MCALLISTER, has a dominant influence over the portfolio.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (20%) |
| §102 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (60%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
