BASECAMP VASCULAR holds a company patent portfolio in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The portfolio currently shows 1 pending office action, which is being reviewed by 1 distinct examiner. This indicates a highly focused prosecution phase with a single point of contact at the patent office.
The examination is confined to 1 distinct art unit, matching the 1 distinct examiner involved. KAMI A BOSWORTH is the busiest examiner, holding 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Since the total pending office actions for the portfolio is 1, this examiner is responsible for the entirety of the company's current pending workload.
This concentration in 1 distinct art unit and under 1 distinct examiner suggests that the company's current patenting efforts are specialized. Practitioners managing this portfolio interact with only 1 distinct examiner, KAMI A BOSWORTH, making the prosecution process relatively centralized. The 1 pending office action reflects a low volume of current administrative requirements within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector, allowing for a targeted legal strategy.
