Hyivy Health Inc. is managing 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 2 actions are being reviewed by 2 distinct examiners. This distribution means that no examiner is currently handling more than one pending matter for the company.
The portfolio is located within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that although there are 2 different examiners, they are both working within the same technical division. This concentration in one art unit suggests that the pending applications share similar technical classifications.
HOWELL, GWYNNETH LINNEA is the busiest examiner for the company. This examiner is currently handling 1 pending office action. Because there are 2 pending actions and 2 distinct examiners, the workload is split, with each examiner responsible for 1 action. This ensures that the busiest examiner does not hold a majority of the pending cases.
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.
