Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
7 pending office actions • 3 art units • 7 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Jiangsu Trulive Medtech Co. Ltd. is currently navigating 7 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 7 pending office actions are distributed across 3 distinct art units, suggesting that while the technology is focused, it touches upon several different mechanical or medical classifications. The fact that there are 3 distinct art units involved implies that the company must adapt its prosecution tactics to the specific nuances of each unit's examination culture. This concentration of 7 pending office actions in a relatively small number of units may allow for some consistency in legal arguments.
The portfolio is being reviewed by 7 distinct examiners, meaning that every single pending action is currently assigned to a different individual. LALONDE, ALEXANDRA ELIZABETH is the busiest examiner for the company, though this individual is only responsible for 1 pending office action. Because there are 7 distinct examiners for the 7 pending office actions, the company faces a diverse range of examiner temperaments and styles. This lack of examiner overlap, despite the focus within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering area, suggests that the company's results will depend on the individual discretion of 7 different patent office employees.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (14%) |
| §103 only | 1 (14%) |
| §102 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (57%) |
