Monogram Technologies Inc. is currently managing 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, showing no concentration in the current workload. Each pending matter is being handled by a different individual in a different specialized section of the patent office.
The busiest examiner, BYKHOVSKI, ALEXEI, is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Given that there are 2 pending office actions and 2 distinct examiners, each examiner is handling a single matter. This requires the company to maintain separate communication channels for each of the pending office actions.
The use of 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's medical device technology may span different classifications. Practitioners must address the specific requirements of different units while managing these pending office actions. BYKHOVSKI, ALEXEI handles 1 pending action, and the lack of overlap between examiners means that the outcome of one action is unlikely to directly influence the other.
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.
