Ventrimend Inc. currently manages 6 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These matters are distributed across 5 distinct examiners, indicating a relatively broad spread of oversight for the portfolio size. Prosecution activity is concentrated within 2 distinct art units, which suggests a focused technical scope despite the variety of individual examiners assigned to the cases.
TON, MARTIN TRUYEN is identified as the busiest examiner for this portfolio. This specific examiner is responsible for 2 of the pending office actions. This concentration means that 2 out of the total pending actions are under the review of a single individual. Practitioners should note that while 5 distinct examiners are involved, the workload handled by TON, MARTIN TRUYEN represents a notable portion of the current docket.
The presence of 2 distinct art units suggests that the legal strategy may involve navigating specific examination standards within a narrow set of USPTO divisions. With 5 distinct examiners reviewing the actions, most examiners are likely handling only one case each, with the exception of the busiest examiner. This distribution provides a baseline for understanding the examiner-specific variability Ventrimend Inc. faces during prosecution.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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.
