Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Livemetric (Medical) S A is currently addressing 3 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 3 actions are being reviewed by 3 distinct examiners, ensuring that each application receives an independent evaluation. Interestingly, all of these matters are concentrated within 1 distinct art unit, suggesting a very specific technical focus for the company's current filings. This concentration within 1 art unit means that while the examiners differ, the underlying examination standards and technical expertise applied to the cases are likely consistent.
The busiest examiner for the company is BLOCH, MICHAEL RYAN, who is assigned 1 pending office action. With a total of 3 pending office actions, the workload is distributed evenly among the examiners. This arrangement requires the company to manage 3 separate examiner relationships within 1 art unit to advance its patent portfolio. Practitioners should look for commonalities in the feedback received from this art unit, even as they address the specific requirements of 3 different examiners.
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 | 2 (67%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
