Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
10 pending office actions • 6 art units • 10 examiners • 0 of 10 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 3 patents granted in the last 365 days
Medcaptain Medical Technology Co. Ltd. has 9 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 9 distinct examiners across 5 distinct art units, creating broad examiner dispersion with concentration at the technical-group level. The portfolio calls for coordinated docket management and structured review of recurring claim and disclosure issues.
PLAKKOOTTAM, DOMINICK L is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The available data shows no examiner handling more than that amount, so prosecution attention is spread across the examiner assignments rather than centered on one relationship.
Counsel should use the shared technology area and 5 art units to identify common technical themes, while preserving separate strategies for the 9 examiner relationships. Consistent claim construction can support efficiency, but amendments and interviews should be evaluated against each matter's assigned 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 + other | 2 (20%) |
| §103 only | 1 (10%) |
| §102 only | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (60%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
