Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
4 pending office actions • 2 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Provisio Medical Inc. is managing 4 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These matters are distributed among 4 distinct examiners. While the examiners are unique for each action, they are situated within 2 distinct art units, suggesting some level of departmental concentration in the USPTO. This concentration means that while individual examiner styles may vary, the overarching art unit policies will likely be consistent across the portfolio.
FANG, MICHAEL YIMING is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently overseeing 1 busiest examiner pending action. With 4 pending office actions in total, the workload is spread across multiple individuals. The presence of 2 distinct art units for these actions indicates that examiners within the same units are reviewing different applications for the company. This allows for a more focused prosecution strategy within the medical device and mechanical engineering fields, as the company interacts with only two specialized groups.
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.
