Livanova Deutschland GmbH has 3 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 3 pending office actions are split among 3 distinct examiners. This means each examiner is responsible for exactly one of the company's active applications. The portfolio is situated within 2 distinct art units. AMIN, JWALANT B is the busiest examiner, currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This is consistent with the other 2 distinct examiners, as the 3 pending office actions are evenly distributed.
Because the 3 pending office actions are handled by 3 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units, the company must manage at least one art unit where multiple examiners are active. This requires a strategy that balances the specific art unit standards with the individual approaches of the 3 distinct examiners. The concentration within 2 distinct art units indicates a focused technical scope within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field. However, the involvement of 3 distinct examiners ensures that the company receives varied feedback on its applications. AMIN, JWALANT B, while designated as the busiest examiner, only holds 1 busiest examiner pending office action, reflecting the balanced distribution of the workload.
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.
