Shenzhen Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics Co., Ltd. has 25 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. Each matter is assigned to a distinct examiner, while the portfolio spans 16 art units, indicating broad examiner dispersion within recurring technical classifications.
SAKAMOTO, COLIN T is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The lack of a larger examiner concentration favors systematic application tracking and art-unit analysis over a strategy centered on one examiner relationship.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 14 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. 14 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 5 (19%) |
| §103 only | 10 (38%) |
| §112 only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (31%) |
