Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
3 pending office actions • 3 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Temp Aid Corp. focuses its patent efforts in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The company currently has 3 pending office actions. These actions are being reviewed by 3 distinct examiners, which means that each pending matter is assigned to a unique individual. This distribution requires the applicant to manage three separate examiner relationships simultaneously to advance their medical and mechanical engineering claims.
The prosecution activity is equally distributed across 3 distinct art units. This perfect alignment between the 3 pending office actions and 3 distinct art units indicates that each application is being treated as a distinct technical subject by the patent office. This lack of concentration in any single art unit or examiner group means that the company cannot rely on a centralized prosecution strategy but must instead tailor its approach to three different sets of technical standards.
PAL, PRINCE is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Because PAL, PRINCE only has 1 busiest examiner pending office action, and there are 3 distinct examiners in total, the workload is perfectly balanced. Practitioners should focus on the specific nuances of each of the 3 distinct art units involved, as the outcomes in these units will independently determine the success of the company's current patent filings.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
