Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
162 pending office actions • 26 art units • 79 examiners • 0 of 162 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 782 patents granted in the last 365 days
Nike Inc. currently manages 162 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 162 actions are distributed among 79 distinct examiners, which indicates that the portfolio is subject to a variety of individual examination styles. The 26 distinct art units involved further suggest that the company's intellectual property covers a range of technical classifications within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is Lynch, Megan E, who is currently handling 11 of the pending office actions. While Lynch, Megan E has the highest individual workload, the 11 actions represent a specific segment of the 162 total pending office actions. For practitioners, this concentration with a single examiner provides an opportunity to develop a consistent strategy for a subset of the applications, while the remaining 79 distinct examiners require a more diversified approach.
The presence of 162 pending office actions across 26 distinct art units highlights the complexity of managing this Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering portfolio. With 79 distinct examiners involved, the company must navigate numerous procedural preferences and technical interpretations. The 11 actions assigned to Lynch, Megan E stand out as a primary focus area, but the overall prosecution strategy must remain flexible enough to address the requirements of the many different art units and examiners assigned to the cases.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 57 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. 57 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.

| §101 only | 4 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 11 (7%) |
| §103 only | 51 (31%) |
| §102 only | 8 (5%) |
