StimScience, Inc. has 4 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 4 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, indicating multiple examiner assignments with some art-unit overlap.
MARLEN, TAMMIE K is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner has more than 1 pending action in the supplied data, so counsel should coordinate shared technical positions at the art-unit level while preparing separate responses for each examiner.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (50%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
