7 pending office actions • 2 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 2 patents granted in the last 365 days
Revalve Solutions Inc. currently has 6 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 6 actions are being handled by 3 distinct examiners, which indicates a concentration of matters among a small group of personnel. The portfolio is also distributed across 2 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering applications are evaluated by two specialized technical groups within the patent office.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is Woznicki, Jacqueline, who is responsible for 4 of the pending office actions. Since Woznicki, Jacqueline manages 4 out of the 6 total actions, this examiner's specific feedback and requirements will be the primary factor in the company's current prosecution efforts. The 2 distinct art units involved mean that the 6 pending office actions are subject to the specific guidelines of two different examination groups, requiring a tailored approach for each case.
Practitioners managing these 6 pending office actions must prioritize the relationship with Woznicki, Jacqueline, given their oversight of 4 cases. The presence of 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units for 6 actions shows that the portfolio is concentrated in a few procedural silos. This distribution requires a strategy that addresses the specific technical nuances of each Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering art unit while managing the dominant role of the busiest examiner on the overall portfolio.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (29%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (29%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (43%) |
