Neuroone Medical Technologies Corporation has 4 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The record identifies 3 distinct examiners and 1 distinct art unit. BAYS, PAMELA M is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters.
The matters share one art-unit setting but are not distributed evenly among examiners. That combination may support consistent technical framing while making examiner-specific review important. Related device claims should be compared for terminology, disclosure support, and treatment of common prior art.
BAYS, PAMELA M handles 2 pending matters, creating a clear point for coordinated review. Counsel should examine those actions together for consistency, but preserve separate responses where claim language, cited references, or procedural posture differ. The remaining examiner assignments should not be assumed to follow the same approach.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
