Pneuma Respiratory Inc. has 10 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 7 distinct examiners across 3 distinct art units, indicating that multiple actions are grouped under the same examiner or technical assignment. This structure creates an opportunity to identify recurring objections and align responses across related matters.
KHONG, BRIAN THAI-BINH is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending matters. That concentration makes examiner-specific review particularly relevant, while the limited art-unit distribution supports coordination of claim strategy within the applicable technical groups.
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 | 1 (10%) |
| §102 only | 1 (10%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (60%) |
