7 pending office actions • 3 art units • 7 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 3 patents granted in the last 365 days
Know Labs Inc. currently has 7 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct art units, showing a diverse technical footprint within this sector. The prosecution involves 7 distinct examiners, meaning each pending action is being handled by a different individual. This high level of examiner diversity requires a robust management strategy to ensure consistent messaging across all filings.
REMALY, MARK DONALD is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending office action currently assigned. The presence of the active matters across 3 distinct art units suggests that the company is navigating multiple examination frameworks simultaneously. Practitioners should note that the 7 distinct examiners provide a wide range of feedback that may influence the overall strategy for the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering portfolio. Coordinating responses across these various reviewers is critical for maintaining a cohesive patent landscape.
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 (14%) |
| §103 only | 3 (43%) |
| §102 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (29%) |
