2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Yukon Medical LLC currently maintains 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners, ensuring that each matter receives an independent review. Despite the use of multiple examiners, the work is contained within 1 distinct art unit. This concentration suggests that the underlying technologies are closely related and subject to the same supervisory oversight within the mechanical engineering division.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is HAN, SETH, who is currently managing a single pending office action. Since the busiest examiner pending count is 1, the workload is evenly distributed across the involved personnel. This arrangement provides the applicant with different examiner perspectives while remaining within a single technical department. Practitioners should prepare for a prosecution environment where technical consistency is maintained across different individual reviews. This structure allows for a set of examiner insights while keeping the cases within a unified technological framework at the USPTO.
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.
