Myomo Inc. has 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This action is assigned to WOZNICKI, JACQUELINE, the busiest examiner for the company with 1 pending action. The prosecution profile is limited to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that the 1 pending office action is the only active case for the company at the USPTO.
Practitioners should note that the 1 distinct examiner in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering area holds all current responsibility for the company's 1 pending action. The concentration in 1 distinct art unit suggests that the technical subject matter is highly focused. Because the 1 pending office action represents the total active workload, the practitioner must tailor their arguments to the specific technical standards of the 1 distinct art unit involved. Success for Myomo Inc. in this matter depends entirely on the 1 distinct examiner's interpretation of the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering claims, as there are no other pending actions to balance the risk.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
