26 pending office actions • 2 art units • 18 examiners • 0 of 26 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 12 patents granted in the last 365 days
Magenta Medical Ltd. maintains a portfolio with 25 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These matters are distributed among 18 distinct examiners, indicating that several examiners are handling multiple applications. Despite the high number of pending actions, the prosecution is concentrated within only 2 distinct art units, suggesting a very specific technical focus for the company's medical device innovations.
The busiest examiner, MORALES, JON ERIC C, is responsible for 4 pending office actions. This concentration means that a significant portion of the 25 pending office actions is under the review of a single individual. The fact that 25 pending office actions are funnelled into just 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's technology is highly specialized. Practitioners should prepare for consistent examination standards across the portfolio due to this concentration in art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 (4%) |
| §103 only | 8 (31%) |
| §102 only | 2 (8%) |
| §112 only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 12 (46%) |
