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
Health Guard (Suzhou) Biomed Technology Co. Ltd. is currently active in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area, with 2 pending office actions. This number of pending actions suggests a focused patent strategy or a portfolio in its early stages of development. For a company in this sector, these actions represent critical hurdles in securing intellectual property rights for their mechanical innovations.
The prosecution of these matters is split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This distribution means that each pending action is being evaluated in a different technical and administrative context. The lack of overlap between examiners and art units suggests that the company's technology may span different specialized niches within the broader mechanical engineering field.
MCEVOY, THOMAS M is the busiest examiner for the company, currently handling 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since the total number of pending office actions is 2, this examiner is responsible for a portion of the company's current workload at the patent office. Practitioners must manage different examiner relationships simultaneously to move the entire pending portfolio toward issuance.
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 |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
