Smith & Nephew plc currently manages 102 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed across 84 distinct examiners, which is a smaller number than the total 102 pending office actions. The portfolio spans 25 distinct art units, indicating a broad technical range for the company's filings. MENSH, ANDREW J is the busiest examiner, currently handling 3 pending office actions.
The 84 distinct examiners involved in these 102 pending office actions mean that many examiners are responsible for more than one case. This distribution requires the company to adapt to many different examination styles across the 25 distinct art units. MENSH, ANDREW J, with 3 pending office actions, represents a small point of concentration in the portfolio. Practitioners should note that the 102 pending office actions are spread across many different technical groups, necessitating a versatile prosecution strategy.
With 25 distinct art units in play, the company must ensure consistency in its technical arguments across the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector. The 84 distinct examiners provide a broad base of feedback, which can be used to refine future filings. MENSH, ANDREW J is the busiest examiner with 3 pending office actions, making their specific preferences a key factor for those particular cases.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 37 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. 37 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 only | 2 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 13 (12%) |
| §103 only | 36 (34%) |
| §102 only | 4 (4%) |
| §112 only | 4 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 4 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 3 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 40 (38%) |
