Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Happy Health Inc. currently has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These are handled by 2 distinct examiners, meaning each matter is being reviewed by a unique individual. This distribution ensures that the current filings are subject to different perspectives within the patent office. Such a spread can be advantageous for a company developing innovative medical devices that may span multiple technical sub-fields.
AMANDA K HULBERT is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending office action. The actions are also spread across distinct art units. For the company, this requires managing separate prosecution tracks, as there is no concentration of the 2 pending office actions under a single examiner or department. This decentralized approach necessitates a tailored strategy for each case to address the specific prior art and patentability concerns of the assigned 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.
