This single matter is being handled by 1 distinct examiner and is located within 1 distinct art unit. The data shows that the company's current prosecution efforts are concentrated in this specific technical field.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is HOEKSTRA, JEFFREY GERBEN, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Since there is 1 distinct art unit involved, the prosecution is localized within a single specialized division of the patent office. This individual handles the 1 pending office action for the company.
Practitioners should recognize that having 1 pending office action assigned to 1 distinct examiner allows for a direct and focused communication channel. The absence of multiple art units or examiners means that the prosecution strategy does not need to account for varying interpretations across different office groups. The company's efforts in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering are currently concentrated on this single active case.
