Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
7 pending office actions • 3 art units • 6 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 10 patents granted in the last 365 days
Interblock D O O currently has 8 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed among 7 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. The busiest examiner for this portfolio is WILLIAMS, ROSS A, who is responsible for 2 pending office actions. The concentration of 8 pending actions within only 3 distinct art units suggests a focused technological scope despite the involvement of 7 distinct examiners.
This structure allows for some consistency in art unit trends while still requiring engagement with multiple individual examiners. Since the busiest examiner, WILLIAMS, ROSS A, only manages 2 pending office actions, the workload is relatively evenly distributed across the examiner pool. Practitioners should note that while the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area is consistent, the specific examiner assignments are varied. This requires a strategy that balances art unit familiarity with the unique preferences of 7 different examiners. The limited number of art units may provide a more predictable procedural environment compared to portfolios spread across more USPTO divisions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 | 5 (71%) |
