Interblock D O O has 8 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These matters are distributed among 8 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This distribution shows that every pending action is being handled by a different examiner. Such a wide distribution across examiners for a portfolio of 8 actions suggests a highly decentralized examination process.
The busiest examiner for the company is JORDAN, MORGAN T, who is assigned 1 pending office action. Because each of the 8 distinct examiners handles only 1 of the 8 pending office actions, the workload is perfectly distributed across the examination staff. Practitioners must manage relationships with eight different examiners across 3 distinct art units. This variety of examiners within a relatively small number of art units suggests that the company's mechanical and medical device innovations are being reviewed by a diverse group of specialists. Practitioners should expect to tailor their arguments to the specific preferences of each individual examiner involved.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (12%) |
| §103 only | 4 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (38%) |
