Bowtech LLC maintains 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. Both of these actions are assigned to 1 distinct examiner and are located within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates a high degree of concentration in the company's prosecution, as all active matters are being reviewed by the same individual within the same administrative group. Such a focused arrangement can lead to a more predictable prosecution experience, as the company only needs to account for the specific preferences and interpretations of one examiner.
The busiest examiner for the company is NICONOVICH, ALEXANDER R, who is responsible for the 2 pending office actions. This examiner's workload accounts for the entirety of the company's current pending actions. With only 1 distinct art unit involved, the company's interactions with the patent office are streamlined, as both pending matters in the medical devices and mechanical engineering sector are subject to the same examination standards and oversight. This concentration allows the company to focus its legal arguments and prosecution strategy on the specific criteria used by this single examiner and art unit.
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.
