Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
The Cooper Health System currently has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. RODRIGUEZ, CRIS LOIREN is the busiest examiner for the company, currently overseeing 1 pending action. This distribution shows that each pending action is being handled independently by different personnel, which helps to spread the prosecution risk across the portfolio.
The use of 2 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units indicates that the health system's medical device innovations are being evaluated from different technical perspectives. For the practitioner, this means that the strategy for one pending office action may not necessarily apply to the other, as each examiner will have their own interpretation of the prior art. With 2 pending office actions in total, the workload is manageable but requires attention to the specific requirements of both RODRIGUEZ, CRIS LOIREN and the other involved examiner. This structure ensures that the system's progress in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field is not overly dependent on the decisions of a single individual or art unit, allowing for a more robust overall patent strategy.
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 |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 1 (50%) |
