Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
3 pending office actions • 2 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 4 patents granted in the last 365 days
Pulsenmore Ltd. is active in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area with 3 pending office actions currently under review. These actions are handled by 3 distinct examiners, ensuring that each pending matter is evaluated by a different individual. This distribution suggests that the company is receiving a variety of feedback from the patent office across its current filings. The workload is concentrated within 2 distinct art units, which indicates some level of technical overlap or grouping in the types of medical devices being patented.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is LY, TOMMY TAI, who is assigned 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Given the total of 3 pending office actions, the workload is spread, with no single examiner holding a majority of the cases. For a practitioner, this means that while the technical focus is limited to 2 distinct art units, the legal strategy must still account for the individual preferences of 3 different examiners. The presence of more examiners than art units suggests that even within a specific technical field, the company's applications are being split among different examining teams. This profile requires a balanced approach to handle the 3 pending office actions effectively.
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.
