Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
8 pending office actions • 4 art units • 8 examiners • 0 of 8 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 3 patents granted in the last 365 days
Prevayl Innovations Limited manages a portfolio in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area with 8 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across 4 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that the company's filings are reviewed by multiple specialized groups. The prosecution involves 8 distinct examiners.
NGUYEN, AN T is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently overseeing 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This 1 busiest examiner pending office action is a small part of the total workload. The number of 8 distinct examiners matches the number of pending office actions, which means each case is likely handled by a different individual. The Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area is the primary focus for these matters.
Practitioners should observe that NGUYEN, AN T is the busiest examiner despite having only a small pending workload. This suggests an even distribution of cases among the distinct examiners. With 4 distinct art units involved, the company's intellectual property strategy is spread across several technical niches within the patent office.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (25%) |
| §103 only | 3 (38%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (38%) |
