Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Quadmedicine Inc. currently has 3 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 3 actions are being handled by 3 distinct examiners, which means that each pending application is under the review of a different person. This distribution across 3 examiners helps to diversify the prosecution risk for the company's medical device innovations.
The company's active cases are located within 2 distinct art units. Since there are 2 art units for 3 pending office actions, there is some concentration of the technical review process. This overlap in 2 art units may allow the company to apply consistent arguments across its 3 pending cases, even though they are being examined by 3 different individuals.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is ABOUELELA, MAY A, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This 1 action is part of the 3 total pending office actions, showing that no single examiner has a dominant role in the company's current prosecution. The presence of 3 examiners across 2 art units suggests a focused but varied approach to securing patent rights in this technology area.
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.
