Roen Surgical Inc. is managing 7 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are located within 4 distinct art units, showing some concentration of technical focus. The portfolio involves 6 distinct examiners, which means most pending actions are being reviewed by different individuals. This structure suggests that while the company has a focused presence in 4 distinct art units, it must still navigate the individual preferences of 6 distinct examiners.
SIRCAR, ALISHA JITENDRA is the busiest examiner for this company, currently handling 2 pending office actions. The remaining pending actions are spread across other examiners. This distribution across 4 distinct art units and 6 distinct examiners suggests that while there is some overlap in personnel, the majority of the 7 pending actions are subject to independent review processes. Practitioners should note that having 2 pending office actions with SIRCAR, ALISHA JITENDRA provides a small opportunity for consistent messaging, but the overall portfolio remains largely decentralized across the 6 distinct examiners involved.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 3 (50%) |
