Miso Robotics Inc. currently has 7 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 7 pending office actions are assigned to 7 distinct examiners, which indicates that no active matters share the same reviewer. The portfolio is also spread across 4 distinct art units, showing that the company's mechanical and medical innovations are being evaluated by a variety of specialized technical groups within the patent office. Managing 7 pending office actions across 4 distinct art units requires addressing several different departmental standards.
CHU, KING M is listed as the busiest examiner with 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Because there are 7 distinct examiners involved, the workload is distributed across many personnel. The presence of 4 distinct art units suggests that the company's filings are technically diverse even within the broader mechanical engineering category. Practitioners must manage the 7 separate examiner relationships to resolve the current active cases. This decentralized structure means that each case likely requires an independent prosecution approach.
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 only | 1 (14%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (14%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (29%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (29%) |
