Pittway Sarl currently manages 7 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The prosecution is highly decentralized, involving 7 distinct examiners, which indicates that each pending matter is being reviewed by a different individual. These matters are organized across 3 distinct art units, suggesting a diverse range of mechanical or medical technologies.
WADDY, JONATHAN J is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. The high ratio of examiners to pending actions means the company must manage several different examiner styles simultaneously. This structure requires a versatile prosecution strategy to address the varied feedback from 3 distinct art units.
With 7 distinct examiners involved, there is no central point of influence in the current portfolio. Practitioners should be prepared for a wide array of examiner perspectives and procedural requirements across the 3 distinct art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (29%) |
| §102 only | 2 (29%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (43%) |
