Safegrid OY currently has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The prosecution is evenly split across 2 distinct art units and distinct examiners, showing no concentration of workload. HOLLY, LEE A is the busiest examiner, though they are responsible for only 1 pending action.
With 2 distinct examiners and distinct art units for the pending matters, the company faces a fragmented prosecution landscape. Each pending matter requires a unique approach tailored to different examiners and technical units, as there is no overlap in the current data for these matters. This structure suggests that Safegrid OY is exploring diverse mechanical applications that do not fall under a single specialized examination group.
Practitioners should treat each of the pending actions as an independent track, as the examiners and art units are entirely separate. The lack of overlap means that success in one action may not directly influence the other. Strategic planning should account for the specific technical standards of both art units to ensure a high probability of allowance across the entire portfolio.
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.
