Revbio Inc. currently manages 7 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This volume of prosecution is distributed among 7 distinct examiners, indicating a broad engagement across the examining corps. These actions are spread across 6 distinct art units, suggesting a variety of technical focuses within the medical and mechanical fields.
RAMANA, ANURADHA is identified as the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently handling 1 pending office action. While the total number of pending office actions is 7, the workload is highly distributed, as evidenced by the fact that the busiest examiner only accounts for 1 pending office action. This distribution across 6 distinct art units may require the company to navigate varying examination standards and timelines. The presence of 7 distinct examiners for 7 actions ensures that no single examiner is managing multiple matters for the company. Revbio Inc. must coordinate its 7 pending office actions across these 6 distinct art units.
For a patent practitioner, the lack of examiner concentration means that each application requires a unique approach tailored to its specific examiner. However, the concentration in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering area provides some thematic consistency. The 7 distinct examiners will each provide independent evaluations, requiring the company to maintain a robust and flexible prosecution strategy. Successfully managing 7 pending office actions across 6 distinct art units is a significant administrative task.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 + other | 1 (14%) |
| §103 only | 2 (29%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (43%) |
