Owen Mumford Limited has 10 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 9 examiners but only 2 art units, indicating a broad examiner workload within a concentrated technical classification. The difference between pending matters and examiners indicates that at least one examiner handles more than one matter.
RITCHIE, HADEN MATTHEW is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That assignment offers a specific opportunity for coordinated review, while the remaining matters require tracking across the other examination contacts.
The shared art-unit environment supports a central comparison of claim terminology, cited issues, and technical positions. Responses should nevertheless remain tailored to each examiner, particularly where similar device features receive different treatment.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
