Shanghai Ninth People'S Hospital Shanghai Jiaotong University School Of Medicine has 2 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units. ROSEN, ERIC J is the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 pending office action. The distribution shows that each pending matter is being evaluated by a different examiner in a different art unit, which prevents a concentration of prosecution risk under a single official.
The 2 pending office actions are spread across 2 distinct art units, reflecting a variety of technical subject matter within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field. Because ROSEN, ERIC J only manages 1 pending office action, the portfolio's outcomes are split between the independent decisions of 2 distinct examiners. This lack of examiner concentration requires practitioners to develop separate strategies for each pending matter. The 2 pending office actions represent the current active inventory, and their distribution across different units suggests that the company is engaging with multiple specialized groups at the patent office.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
