2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Lightsens Medical SA is managing 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. Both of these actions are assigned to 1 distinct examiner, creating a high level of consistency in the prosecution of the current portfolio. These matters are also contained within 1 distinct art unit, which further centralizes the administrative and technical oversight of the company's active applications.
ALVARADO JR, NELSON LOUIS is the busiest examiner for the company, overseeing the 2 pending office actions. Because there is only a single distinct examiner for the actions, Alvarado Jr handles the entire active workload for the portfolio. This concentration in a single art unit and under a single examiner suggests a very focused prosecution environment where the company can interact with a single point of contact for all its current Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering matters.
The 2 pending actions are fully consolidated under ALVARADO JR, NELSON LOUIS, who is the only examiner involved. This allows for a unified prosecution strategy across the active matters. The presence of only 1 art unit for the 2 actions indicates that the technical subject matter is highly specialized and falls within a single supervisory group at the patent office.
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.
