Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
4 pending office actions • 2 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 5 patents granted in the last 365 days
Inmode Ltd. manages 3 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are handled by 3 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units. ROANE, AARON F is the busiest examiner, overseeing 1 pending action.
The presence of 3 pending office actions and 3 distinct examiners shows that each active matter is assigned to a different person. However, the use of 2 distinct art units indicates that at least two of these examiners are working within the same administrative division. With a busiest examiner pending count of 1, the current workload is distributed evenly among the examiners involved.
Practitioners should note that the distribution across 3 distinct examiners provides multiple points of contact within the patent office. While the matters are spread across 2 distinct art units, the even workload distribution means no single examiner's tendencies dominate the portfolio. This structure allows the company to test different technical arguments across the 3 pending office actions, potentially identifying which approaches are most effective within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 3 (75%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
