Softwave Tissue Regeneration Technologies LLC is addressing 5 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The prosecution is spread across 3 distinct art units and 4 distinct examiners. This level of distribution across art units suggests that the company's technology may have diverse applications or features that fall under different examination categories. Managing these various threads requires a strategy that can adapt to the different priorities of each art unit.
The busiest examiner, KLEIN, BROOKE L, is currently managing 2 pending office actions. This examiner's workload represents a significant portion of the company's active matters compared to the total of 5 pending actions. Because this examiner is handling multiple pending cases, their examination style will significantly influence the portfolio's short-term results. Practitioners should focus on this examiner's specific requirements and past actions to develop a more predictable path toward allowance for these key applications.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 2 (40%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (40%) |
