Impulse Dynamics NV has 5 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The actions are distributed among 5 examiners and 4 art units, so examiner assignment is fully separate even though two matters share an art unit.
PATEL, SHERYL GOPAL is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. The data does not identify a repeated examiner relationship, making matter-level preparation the appropriate operational focus. The shared art-unit placement may still support limited comparison of examination practice or technical issues.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (40%) |
| §103 only | 1 (20%) |
| §102 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (20%) |
