Oui Therapeutics LLC has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are handled by 2 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units. This means that each pending action is being reviewed by a different examiner in a different technical division. The lack of overlap between examiners and art units suggests that the company's current filings cover diverse technical subjects. This diversity requires the company to manage multiple sets of technical guidelines simultaneously.
The busiest examiner is CHOI, DAVID, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because there are 2 pending office actions, this examiner is responsible for 1 of the active matters. For a practitioner, this means that each of the pending actions requires a unique approach tailored to a specific examiner and art unit. There is no centralization of the workload under 1 examiner or 1 art unit, which may require more varied legal arguments to address the different standards of the distinct art units involved. This structure necessitates a broad understanding of different patent office divisions.
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.
