3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Roobi Technologies Corporation is active in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The company currently has 3 pending office actions, which are distributed among 3 distinct examiners. This indicates that while the company has multiple active matters, each is being reviewed by a different individual, providing a variety of perspectives on the portfolio.
All 3 pending office actions are situated within 1 distinct art unit. This concentration suggests that while the examiners differ, the technical subject matter remains within a very specific niche of medical devices or mechanical engineering. CROSBY JR, RICHARD D is the busiest examiner, currently responsible for 1 pending office action.
For practitioners, the fact that 3 distinct examiners are working within 1 distinct art unit requires a strategy that is consistent with the unit's standards while also being tailored to individual preferences. With 3 pending office actions in total, the company has a moderate level of activity that is technically focused but administratively diverse across the 3 distinct examiners.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
