Maytronics Ltd. currently manages 7 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These matters are distributed across 4 distinct art units, indicating a moderately diverse technical focus for the portfolio. The workload is spread evenly among 7 distinct examiners, with no single individual handling a large concentration of the company's active cases.
CAMPBELL, NATASHA N. is identified as the busiest examiner for this portfolio, though she is responsible for only 1 pending office action. This distribution suggests that prosecution strategies may need to be tailored to the specific preferences of several different examiners rather than focusing on a single primary contact. The presence of 7 distinct examiners for 7 pending actions highlights that every active matter is assigned to a different individual. This lack of examiner overlap across 4 distinct art units requires the company to navigate multiple examination styles simultaneously. Practitioners should prepare for varied feedback across these pending actions with 1 pending office action per examiner.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (14%) |
| §103 only | 3 (43%) |
| §102 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (29%) |
