3 pending office actions • 2 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 2 patents granted in the last 365 days
Yourbio Health Inc. is currently managing 3 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct art units, which suggests that the company's medical technology spans different technical classifications at the patent office. This distribution requires a more varied prosecution strategy to address the specific requirements of each unit. The presence of 2 distinct art units indicates that the company's intellectual property is being evaluated for both its mechanical and medical device components.
The prosecution involves 3 distinct examiners, with CARPENTER, WILLIAM R identified as the busiest examiner. This examiner is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Because each of the 3 pending office actions is being handled by a different examiner, the company must navigate three separate examination styles. This diversity in the prosecution profile means that the success of the portfolio is not tied to a single individual, providing some level of variety in the feedback received from the patent office. For a practitioner, managing this portfolio involves coordinating responses that satisfy the requirements of multiple examiners across two separate technical divisions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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 |
|---|---|
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (100%) |
