Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
11 pending office actions • 10 art units • 11 examiners • 0 of 11 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 10 patents granted in the last 365 days
Qatar University manages 10 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed across 9 distinct art units and 10 distinct examiners. This number of art units relative to the total actions suggests a range of mechanical and medical technologies being pursued by the institution. Each of the 10 pending office actions is being handled by a unique examiner, requiring a case-by-case approach to prosecution.
The busiest examiner, WEARE, MEREDITH H, is responsible for 1 pending office action. Since 10 distinct examiners are involved in the 10 pending office actions, the university faces a fragmented prosecution landscape with no concentration of workload under a single examiner. This requires a strategy where there is no overlap among the examiners for the current pending matters. The 9 distinct art units further indicate that the portfolio is being reviewed by many different specialized groups within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 (9%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (18%) |
| §103 only | 1 (9%) |
| §102 only | 1 (9%) |
| §112 only | 2 (18%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (36%) |
