Jpi Consulting currently has 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 2 actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and are located in 2 distinct art units. This indicates that each of the company's pending matters is being reviewed by a different official in a different USPTO division. The busiest examiner, PENG, BO JOSEPH, is responsible for 1 pending action.
For a practitioner, this means that the 2 pending office actions are entirely independent of one another. There is no examiner or art unit overlap that would allow for a shared prosecution approach. Each action must be handled according to the specific preferences of the 2 distinct examiners and the standards of the 2 distinct art units. The Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering designation provides the technical context for both cases. However, the 2 pending matters will each follow their own unique path through the USPTO, as they are handled by 2 different individuals across 2 separate administrative units. This decentralized structure requires tracking two different sets of deadlines and examiner-specific requirements without the benefit of cross-case insights.
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.
