2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Wiesconcepts LLC is currently navigating 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. Despite having multiple actions, the portfolio is concentrated under 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, suggesting a very specific technical focus. BOSWORTH, KAMI A is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, overseeing 2 busiest examiner pending actions. This indicates that all of the company's current office action workload is handled by a single individual.
For the patent practitioner, having 2 pending office actions with 1 distinct examiner allows for a highly consistent prosecution strategy. Any arguments or amendments made in one case can be directly aligned with the other, as BOSWORTH, KAMI A is the sole decision-maker for both. The use of 1 distinct art unit further simplifies the process by ensuring that the same set of examination guidelines applies to all 2 busiest examiner pending actions. This centralized oversight reduces the risk of conflicting requirements that often arise when dealing with multiple examiners.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
