Samsung Life Public Welfare Foundation has 22 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The actions involve 22 distinct examiners and 16 distinct art units, so the examiner assignments are fully dispersed while the art-unit distribution includes some repeated units.
TIEDEMAN, JASON S is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The absence of a multi-matter examiner concentration places greater emphasis on application-level preparation. A portfolio review can still look for common device terminology and claim architecture across art units, but examiner-specific tactics will need to be tailored for each matter.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 only | 1 (5%) |
| §101 + other | 10 (45%) |
| §103 only | 2 (9%) |
| §112 only | 1 (5%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (9%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (27%) |
