Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
4 pending office actions • 3 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 14 patents granted in the last 365 days
Whisper Aero Inc. has 4 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are assigned to 4 distinct examiners, meaning that each pending matter is being reviewed by a different person. This distribution requires the company to manage interactions with multiple different individuals at the patent office.
The 4 pending office actions are located within 3 distinct art units. This indicates that while the technology falls under the broader mechanical engineering umbrella, it spans 3 different specialized groups. FINK, THOMAS ANDREW is the busiest examiner, though this individual is responsible for only 1 pending office action. This shows that the workload is distributed among all 4 distinct examiners.
With 3 distinct art units, the prosecution landscape for Whisper Aero Inc. involves multiple technical teams. FINK, THOMAS ANDREW handles 1 of the pending office actions, just like the other examiners. The presence of the art units suggests that the company's mechanical innovations are being evaluated by multiple specialized groups within the office.
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.
