Technology areas: Communications • Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
3 pending office actions • 2 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Sb22 Inc. has 3 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. Steven J Hylinski is identified as the busiest examiner, though he is responsible for only 1 pending office action.
The spread across multiple examiners and art units indicates a broader technological reach within the mechanical engineering field compared to more concentrated portfolios. The presence of 3 pending office actions across 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's innovations span multiple sub-disciplines. Because each of the 3 examiners is responsible for a single pending action, the prosecution workload is evenly divided. This lack of examiner overlap may require distinct communication strategies for each pending matter. The current data reflects a diversified patenting strategy that involves multiple points of contact within the patent office, which may lead to varying prosecution timelines across the portfolio.
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.
