6 pending office actions • 1 art units • 5 examiners • 0 of 6 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 3 patents granted in the last 365 days
Shanghai Lilith Technology Corporation currently manages 6 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This portfolio is concentrated within 1 distinct art unit, despite being distributed across 5 distinct examiners. This indicates a very specific technical focus for the company's intellectual property filings. The busiest examiner for this portfolio is PANDYA, SUNIT, who is responsible for 2 of the pending actions.
Because all 6 actions are located in a single art unit, the prosecution strategy likely involves navigating a consistent set of examination standards and prior art. Practitioners should note that while the examiner pool is relatively diverse with 5 individuals, the singular 1 art unit suggests a narrow classification of the underlying technology. This concentration may allow for a more predictable prosecution timeline, as the company is not dealing with the varying procedural nuances of multiple units. However, the involvement of 5 distinct examiners means that the company must still account for different individual perspectives on patentability. PANDYA, SUNIT, as the busiest examiner with 2 pending actions, represents the most significant single relationship in the current portfolio.
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.
