9 pending office actions • 3 art units • 8 examiners • 0 of 9 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 12 patents granted in the last 365 days
Jeisys Medical Inc. maintains a patent portfolio in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. There are currently 8 pending office actions associated with this company. These actions are being handled by 8 distinct examiners, meaning each pending matter has a unique reviewer. Despite the number of examiners, the filings are concentrated within 3 distinct art units, suggesting that the technology falls into a few specific categories of mechanical or medical devices.
GROSS, JASON PATRICK is listed as the busiest examiner for the company. This examiner is responsible for 1 pending office action. Since there are 8 pending office actions and 8 distinct examiners, the workload is distributed evenly. The focus within 3 distinct art units may allow for some consistency in the types of prior art cited against the applications. However, the use of 8 different examiners requires practitioners to adapt to different individual prosecution styles for each of the pending matters.
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 | 2 (22%) |
| §112 only | 2 (22%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (44%) |
