9 pending office actions • 8 art units • 9 examiners • 0 of 9 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 6 patents granted in the last 365 days
Mor Research Applications Ltd. currently has 7 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 7 pending office actions are spread across 7 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is currently handling 1 matter for the company. The prosecution activity spans 6 distinct art units, indicating that while the technology area is consistent, the specific applications are being reviewed by several different groups within the patent office.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is YABUT, DIANE D, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. The distribution of the 7 pending office actions among 7 distinct examiners ensures that the prosecution workload is not centralized under 1 distinct examiner. Practitioners should be prepared to manage 7 distinct examiner relationships across 6 distinct art units. This distribution across 6 distinct art units suggests that the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering focus covers several specialized sub-disciplines.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 + other | 3 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (67%) |
