Ozyegin Universitesi currently maintains 4 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 4 actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners, ensuring that no single examiner oversees more than 1 active matter. This distribution requires the university to manage multiple examination styles simultaneously for its 4 pending office actions.
THOMAS, NATALIE NICOLE is the busiest examiner, handling 1 pending office action. With 4 distinct examiners each managing one of the 4 pending office actions, the workload is balanced across the portfolio. The involvement of 3 distinct art units suggests that while the examiners are different, some of the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering applications are being reviewed within the same specialized groups. Practitioners should coordinate responses across the 4 distinct examiners to maintain consistency in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
