Playtika Ltd. has 6 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 5 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units, showing examiner dispersion within a relatively focused art-unit structure.
PINHEIRO, JASON PAUL is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That assignment creates a limited area for examiner-specific coordination, but the remaining applications are handled elsewhere.
Counsel should use the shared art-unit context to identify recurring technical issues while keeping amendments tailored to each examiner’s record. A consistent portfolio position can improve efficiency without assuming that identical responses will fit every matter.
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.
