Orpyx Medical Technologies Inc. currently has 6 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed across 6 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units. The busiest examiner is TRA, ANH QUAN, who is responsible for 1 pending action.
The 6 pending actions are spread almost entirely across different examiners and art units, with 6 examiners and 5 art units involved. This indicates a high degree of fragmentation in the prosecution process, as nearly every action is being handled by a different individual in a different technical group. Practitioners must be prepared to manage a wide variety of examination styles and art unit practices. The lack of concentration under any single examiner or art unit suggests a diverse range of technical challenges within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field. This decentralized structure requires a highly adaptable prosecution strategy to ensure consistency across the 6 pending matters.
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.
