Sensia LLC manages a company patent portfolio in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The portfolio currently has 3 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This distribution shows that the company's prosecution is spread across different technical specialties and individual reviewers within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is LEE, GEOFFREY S, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. The involvement of the distinct examiners and art units suggests a more diversified prosecution strategy compared to portfolios where all actions are concentrated under a single examiner. Each pending action is currently being reviewed by a different individual in a different administrative unit, requiring the company to navigate multiple examiner perspectives.
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.
