Medical AI Co. Ltd. is currently managing 10 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed across 6 distinct art units, indicating a broad technical range for the company's medical AI innovations. The involvement of 6 art units suggests that the company must navigate multiple USPTO divisions, each with its own examination standards.
The prosecution workload is spread among 9 distinct examiners for the 10 pending office actions. This high number of examiners relative to the total actions prevents any single examiner from having a dominant influence over the company's active portfolio. This distribution minimizes the risk that a single difficult examiner could significantly impact the overall success of the company's patent efforts.
SAHAND, SANA is identified as the busiest examiner, responsible for 2 pending office actions. Since the busiest examiner handles 2 of the 10 pending office actions, her individual review process has a more significant impact on the portfolio than the other examiners. This requires the company to manage 9 separate examiner relationships while paying close attention to the specific preferences of SAHAND, SANA.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 only | 2 (18%) |
| §101 + other | 8 (73%) |
| §103 only | 1 (9%) |
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.
