34 pending office actions • 7 art units • 26 examiners • 0 of 34 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 27 patents granted in the last 365 days
Medtrum Technologies Inc. has 30 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 22 distinct examiners across 6 art units, indicating a substantial portfolio with broad examiner coverage but a more limited art-unit footprint.
DOUGHERTY, SEAN PATRICK is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending actions. That concentration identifies a useful point for issue tracking, but it does not represent the full range of examination approaches across the portfolio.
Prosecution management should connect claim terminology, specification support, and amendment positions across related medical-device matters while preserving application-specific responses. The distribution also supports regular review of examiner comments and art-unit patterns before committing to broader portfolio claim strategies.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 14 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. 14 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 | 1 (3%) |
| §103 only | 16 (47%) |
| §112 only | 5 (15%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 12 (35%) |
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.
