Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering

Xeltis AG has 4 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are assigned to 4 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is currently reviewing 1 matter for the company. This distribution indicates that the active workload is spread evenly across the assigned personnel.
The portfolio is active in 2 distinct art units, which indicates that the 4 pending actions are grouped into two technical areas. The busiest examiner, RASSAVONG, ERIC, is responsible for 1 pending office action, matching the workload of the other three examiners. This means that each of the 4 pending actions is being handled by a different individual.
With 4 examiners but only 2 art units, there is a concentration of personnel within specific technical groups. Practitioners will need to manage interactions with four different individuals across these two administrative units, ensuring that arguments remain consistent even when handled by different examiners within the same art unit.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 | 2 (50%) |
