Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Shen Zhen 3Irobotix Co. Ltd. maintains a patent portfolio in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. Currently, the company has 2 pending office actions. These actions are being handled by 2 distinct examiners, but they are both located within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that while the technical review is centralized in one specialized group, the company is interacting with multiple individuals within that group in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field.
MULLER, BRYAN R is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action. Given that there are 2 pending office actions in total, the workload is split equally between the 2 distinct examiners. Each examiner is responsible for 1 of the company's active matters. The concentration in 1 distinct art unit suggests that the technical evaluation of the company's medical device technology remains within a single specialized division at the patent office.
For the practitioner, having 2 distinct examiners within 1 distinct art unit for 2 pending office actions offers a balance of consistency and variety. The technical standards of the art unit will likely be uniform, but the individual examiners may have different preferences for claim language. Managing these 2 pending office actions requires a strategy that respects the unit's general guidelines while addressing the specific feedback from MULLER, BRYAN R and the other assigned examiner.
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.
