Galvion Ltd. is currently navigating 6 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed among 6 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, representing an even spread of the workload. The busiest examiner, PATEL, TAJASH D, is responsible for 1 pending office action.
With 6 pending office actions and 6 distinct examiners, no single individual is managing more than one pending matter. This indicates a decentralized prosecution environment, even though the matters are grouped within 3 distinct art units. Each of the 6 pending office actions is being reviewed by a different examiner.
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 | 3 (50%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (33%) |
