2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Turningmode LLC has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 2 pending office actions are being handled by 2 distinct examiners, which ensures that each application is being evaluated independently. Despite having 2 distinct examiners, the portfolio is concentrated within 1 distinct art unit. This suggests that while the examiners may have different individual approaches, they are likely working under the same supervisory and procedural guidelines within that 1 distinct art unit.
The busiest examiner identified is SABOKTAKIN, MARJAN, who is currently responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since there are 2 pending office actions and 2 distinct examiners, the workload is evenly split between the two individuals. For a practitioner, the primary task is to manage the expectations of 2 distinct examiners while benefiting from the relative consistency of 1 distinct art unit. This structure allows for a focused technical argument within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field, even as it is applied across 2 pending office actions. The 1 distinct art unit provides a stable backdrop for the 2 distinct examiners' reviews, simplifying the coordination of the 2 pending office actions.
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.
