Wave Neuroscience Inc. has 9 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 8 distinct examiners across 3 distinct art units, creating substantial examiner dispersion within a more limited art-unit structure.
CASLER, BRIAN L is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. Those matters merit coordinated handling, while the other assignments require examiner-specific preparation rather than a single uniform response.
The profile supports a portfolio-level review of recurring device and mechanical claim themes, especially where matters share an art unit. Counsel should still preserve flexibility for different examiner interpretations, cited references, and amendment expectations across the pending work.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (22%) |
| §103 only | 1 (11%) |
| §112 only | 1 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (56%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
