Pura Scents Inc. is actively prosecuting 8 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These matters are distributed across 5 distinct art units, indicating a range of technical classifications for the company's innovations. The prosecution workload involves 7 distinct examiners, showing that the portfolio is spread across multiple individuals at the patent office.
CAMPBELL, THOR S is identified as the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently managing 2 pending office actions. This concentration under CAMPBELL, THOR S represents a portion of the 8 pending office actions total. The other pending office actions are handled by other individuals within the group of 7 distinct examiners, suggesting a broad distribution of the workload.
The use of 5 distinct art units for 8 pending office actions demonstrates that the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering filings are not confined to a single group. Practitioners must coordinate across the assigned staff to address the current 8 pending office actions. This distribution requires a strategy to maintain consistency across different examination styles and the 5 distinct art units involved.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (11%) |
| §103 only | 4 (44%) |
| §102 only | 1 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (33%) |
