Orthosensor Inc. has 12 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The docket spans 9 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, indicating substantial examiner dispersion within a limited set of technical groups.
XU, JUSTIN handles 3 pending matters, the largest examiner-specific grouping shown. Those matters warrant coordinated review for recurring prosecution issues, while the remaining assignments call for broader docket management across the other examiners and art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 | 4 (33%) |
| §103 only | 3 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (42%) |
