2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 2 patents granted in the last 365 days
Vivasure Medical Limited has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. Both matters are located in 1 distinct art unit. This indicates a narrow technical focus for the current portfolio.
The cases are handled by 2 distinct examiners, including Lauer, Christina C. Since each of the distinct examiners has only 1 pending office action, there is no examiner overlap within the distinct art unit. The prosecution team must manage separate examiner interactions within the same technical division.
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 |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
