Oura Health Oy has 49 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The docket spans 43 distinct examiners and 23 distinct art units, reflecting broad examiner distribution and repeated activity across examination units. This profile calls for structured oversight by art unit, technology, and examiner.
MARSH, OWEN LEWIS is the busiest listed examiner, with 2 pending matters. The most active examiner handles only a small part of the overall docket, so prosecution management should prioritize consistent portfolio controls rather than a single-examiner strategy. Application-specific response planning remains necessary across the distributed assignments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 10 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. 10 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 only | 4 (9%) |
| §101 + other | 16 (34%) |
| §103 only | 12 (26%) |
| §102 only | 3 (6%) |
| §112 only | 2 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (19%) |
