Everi Payments Inc. has 10 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 9 examiners and 4 art units, combining broad examiner distribution with recurring art-unit assignments.
KIM, KEVIN Y is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The docket calls for disciplined deadline control and a structured system for identifying common claim issues across the 4 art units.
Because most matters are handled by different examiners, counsel should avoid assuming that an argument accepted in one record will receive identical treatment elsewhere. Shared technical evidence can still support consistent positions where the underlying issues overlap.
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 | 6 (60%) |
| §103 only | 2 (20%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (10%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (10%) |
