Gs-Healthmatrix LLC is currently managing 3 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The prosecution is notably fragmented, as these actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This distribution suggests that each pending matter is being handled by a different specialized group within the patent office.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is MATTSON, SEAN D, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. Given that there are 3 pending office actions and 3 distinct examiners, the workload is distributed among several officials. This lack of concentration means that the company must address the specific requirements of 3 distinct art units simultaneously. The prosecution strategy in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering must therefore account for the varied expectations of the examiners.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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 |
|---|---|
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (100%) |
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.
