Vektor Medical Inc. has 3 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, indicating that the pending work is dispersed across separate examination environments.
DOWNEY, JOHN R is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner accounts for more than the identified single assignment, so counsel should organize responses around the individual applications and their respective art units.
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.
