Glaive Medical Optics Inc. is currently navigating 3 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. Each of these 3 pending office actions is assigned to a different person among 3 distinct examiners, and they are further separated into 3 distinct art units. This complete lack of overlap in both 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units for the active workload indicates a highly varied technical scope for the company's current filings.
BEASLEY, DEIRDRE L is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently responsible for 1 pending office action. Since the 3 pending office actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, the company faces independent prosecution environments for each case. This requires the practitioner to develop unique strategies tailored to the specific standards and precedents of each of the 3 distinct art units involved in the current workload.
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.
