Relive Co. Ltd. currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, but both are located within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that while different individuals are reviewing the applications, the prosecution is concentrated within a single technical division of the patent office.
The busiest examiner for the company is BRAVO, JOCELYN MARY, who is handling 1 pending office action. Given that there are 2 pending office actions in total, the workload is evenly split between the 2 distinct examiners. This concentration in 1 distinct art unit suggests that the company's innovations in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector are being evaluated under a consistent set of unit-specific guidelines.
For practitioners, the involvement of 2 distinct examiners within a single art unit provides an opportunity to compare different examiner styles within the same technical environment. The outcome of these 2 pending office actions will be a key indicator of the company's success in this specific art unit. The Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field remains the primary focus for these active matters.
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 |
|---|---|
| Double-patenting only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
