Sacmi Cooperativa Meccanici Imola Societa’ Cooperativa has 3 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 3 actions are being reviewed by only 2 distinct examiners, showing a high level of examiner concentration for a small portfolio. The busiest examiner, DONG, LIANG, is currently handling 2 pending office actions, which is the majority of the company's active workload. This concentration allows for a more unified prosecution strategy for two-thirds of the pending matters.
All 3 pending office actions are located within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates a very focused technical area for the company's current active prosecution. With only 2 distinct examiners and 1 art unit, practitioners have a significant opportunity to develop a consistent and streamlined prosecution strategy. The fact that DONG, LIANG handles 2 of the 3 pending office actions means that a single examiner's perspective will be dominant in the current portfolio. This concentrated footprint in 1 art unit simplifies the administrative and technical challenges of managing these 3 pending office actions, as all matters are being evaluated against the same technical standards.
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 (7%) |
| §103 only | 5 (36%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (50%) |
