2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Miradry Inc. currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that the company's current prosecution is technically concentrated within a single art unit.
PEFFLEY, MICHAEL F is the busiest examiner, overseeing 1 pending office action. Since there are 2 distinct examiners for the active matters, the workload is divided equally. Each examiner is responsible for exactly half of the pending matters in this portfolio.
The fact that both of the 2 distinct examiners are located in 1 distinct art unit is significant for practitioners. It implies that while there are different individuals to negotiate with, the overarching policies and supervisory environment of the art unit will be consistent across the pending office actions. This Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering portfolio is currently navigating a very focused examination path, with 1 examiner assigned per case.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
