Analysis

Bolt Medical Inc. has 2 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. ANJARIA, SHREYA PARAG is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The profile reflects distributed examination across separate assignments.

Counsel should coordinate core device terminology while developing individual responses for each examiner and art unit. Medical-device prosecution often turns on the relationship between structure, deployment, operation, and claimed result, so each response should identify the disputed limitation precisely. Separate assignments make it useful to compare prior-art treatment without assuming uniform practice. A portfolio-level review can prevent conflicting amendments, while examiner-specific analysis should control interview preparation and argument selection.
