The narrow scope of the current prosecution suggests a highly targeted approach to securing intellectual property rights in this technical field.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is THROCKMORTON, ROBERT EMIL, who is currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending action. This figure matches the total of 1 pending office action for the entire company, meaning the prosecution success for the current docket rests with this examiner.
