Shaheen Innovations Holding Limited has 5 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These matters are distributed across 3 distinct art units and distinct examiners, indicating some concentration of work among a small group of officials. ORTIZ, RAFAEL ALFREDO is the busiest examiner for the company, managing 2 pending actions. This concentration suggests that certain examiners have a more significant impact on the company's overall prosecution success.
The presence of 5 pending office actions assigned to only 3 distinct examiners suggests that some examiners are reviewing multiple applications for the company. This concentration is most evident with ORTIZ, RAFAEL ALFREDO, who handles 2 of the active matters. Practitioners can expect to interact with a limited set of art units during the current prosecution cycle, which may allow for more consistency in how the technology is perceived by the patent office.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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.
