Sprasann LLC maintains a concentrated patent portfolio within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The company currently has 1 pending office action, which is being handled by 1 distinct examiner. This focused prosecution footprint is limited to 1 distinct art unit, suggesting that the company's current legal efforts are directed toward a very specific technical niche within the broader medical device field.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is LARSON, JUSTIN MATTHEW, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because the total number of pending office actions is 1 and there is 1 distinct examiner, this examiner manages the company's current workload at the USPTO. Practitioners should focus their efforts on the specific requirements of the 1 distinct art unit to anticipate the examiner's approach. The lack of broader distribution across the office means that the outcome of the pending action will significantly impact the company's immediate patent strategy and its future filings in this technology area.
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.
