Miso Robotics Inc. has 6 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The actions involve 6 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, indicating fully separate examiner assignments with some repeated art-unit placement.
CHU, KING M is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The data does not show a dominant examiner relationship. Counsel can handle each matter on its own record while using the repeated art-unit assignments to identify common issues affecting robotics or mechanical-device claims.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (17%) |
| §103 only | 1 (17%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (17%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (33%) |
