Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
VIEWMIND, INC. has 3 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These matters are assigned to 3 distinct examiners but are concentrated within 1 distinct art unit. The busiest examiner, HASAN, MOHAMMED A, is currently overseeing 1 busiest examiner pending action.
The fact that all 3 pending office actions are in this single art unit suggests a very specific technical focus for the company's current medical device innovations. Although there are multiple distinct examiners, they are likely working within the same institutional framework. This means the company must manage three different examiner personalities while adhering to the specific guidelines of 1 distinct art unit. With 3 distinct examiners involved, the company can compare different examination styles. This concentration in the current art unit simplifies the technical arguments required across these pending matters, even as the company navigates the individual preferences of HASAN, MOHAMMED A.
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.
