Radiation Monitoring Devices Inc. has 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are assigned to 3 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units, showing a slight concentration of organizational oversight despite the individual examiner variety. Because the filings are spread across only 2 distinct art units, at least some of the examiners are likely working within the same unit, which may provide some consistency in the underlying examination policies applied to the portfolio.
BRYANT, MICHAEL CASEY is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. Because each of the filings is handled by a different individual, the portfolio lacks a primary point of contact at the examiner level. Practitioners should prepare for unique preferences across the distinct examiners involved. The presence of these examiners means that no single person's history will dominate the current prosecution experience. However, the 2 distinct art units suggest that the subject matter is focused enough to stay within a limited number of administrative groups.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 1 (33%) |
