Wizp AS manages a patent portfolio in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area that currently includes 2 pending office actions. These actions are distributed among 2 distinct examiners, showing a spread of the workload across different individuals. One of these examiners is ROZANSKI, GRACE NMN, who is the busiest examiner for the portfolio. With 1 busiest examiner pending action assigned to this individual, the company's active cases are distributed between the 2 distinct examiners.
The portfolio's activity spans 2 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's medical or mechanical innovations may cover different technical classifications. This distribution into 2 distinct art units requires the applicant to navigate the specific procedural requirements of 2 different administrative groups at the USPTO. The presence of 2 pending office actions means the company must coordinate multiple responses. Because there are 2 distinct examiners involved, the company interacts with different officials. This structure provides a broader base of examiner interaction than a more concentrated portfolio, potentially offering different perspectives on the patentability of their Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering inventions.
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.
