Everi Games Inc. has 5 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The portfolio involves 5 examiners but only 1 art unit, so examiner diversity exists within one common technical examination setting.
KIM, KEVIN Y is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should coordinate technical positions across the shared art unit while preparing examiner-specific responses for each pending matter.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 4 (67%) |
| §103 only | 1 (17%) |
