Stamford Devices Limited is currently managing 5 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 5 pending office actions are distributed among 5 distinct examiners, indicating that each pending application is being reviewed by a different person. The prosecution work is organized across 2 distinct art units, which suggests a technical focus despite the involvement of multiple examiners.
The busiest examiner, LIEUWEN, CODY J, is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action, which is consistent with the 5 distinct examiners identified for the 5 pending office actions. This distribution means that practitioners must adapt to 5 different examiner styles while navigating only 2 distinct art units. The concentration in 2 distinct art units provides consistency in the technical standards applied to the 5 pending office actions. Practitioners should analyze the 2 distinct art units to find common ground for the 5 pending office actions.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (40%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (60%) |
