Adventist Health System/Sunbelt Inc. has 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This particular active matter is assigned to 1 distinct art unit and is being reviewed by a distinct examiner. The narrow scope of current prosecution activity suggests a highly concentrated focus for the portfolio at this time, with all efforts directed toward a particular application. This allows for a very specific legal strategy tailored to the technical requirements of the assigned art unit.
The busiest examiner, JACOB, OOMMEN, is handling the pending office action. Because the entire active portfolio resides with a particular examiner, the prosecution outcome for this entity is currently dependent on a particular point of review. This centralized status simplifies the management of the company's intellectual property assets and allows for a direct dialogue with the examiner. With only the pending office action, the organization can focus its resources on resolving the specific issues raised by JACOB, OOMMEN to move the application toward allowance.
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.
