C Change Surgical LLC has 1 pending office action currently active in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. Prosecution for this portfolio is highly centralized, involving 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. This narrow distribution reflects a specific point of contact within the patent office for the company's current filings. Such a focused prosecution profile often indicates a specialized technology that falls within a very specific regulatory or technical category.
The busiest examiner, BUI, LUAN KIM, is assigned 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since this matches the total count of 1 pending office action, this examiner oversees the entire active docket for the company. Practitioners can focus their preparation on the specific examination style of BUI, LUAN KIM and the standards of the 1 art unit involved. Because there are no other pending actions, the company's immediate patent goals are entirely subject to the findings and procedural requirements of this 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.
