Wiwynn Corporation currently manages 11 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 11 actions are distributed across 4 distinct art units, suggesting a range of mechanical inventions are under review. The prosecution involves 10 distinct examiners, which indicates that almost every pending case is being handled by a different individual.
VORTMAN, ANATOLY is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently overseeing 2 pending office actions. This count of 2 is the highest number of actions assigned to any single examiner in the group. With 10 distinct examiners for 11 pending office actions, the workload is highly distributed, with only VORTMAN, ANATOLY managing more than one case.
The 4 distinct art units involved mean that the 11 pending office actions are subject to the standards of several different examination groups. Practitioners should note that they will be dealing with 10 different examiners, which may lead to a variety of prosecution experiences. The 2 pending office actions under VORTMAN, ANATOLY represent the only point of examiner overlap in the current Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering portfolio.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (9%) |
| §102 only | 2 (18%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (73%) |
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.
