Cardioquip LLC has 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This matter is assigned to a distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. The concentration of the pending workload in a single art unit suggests a specific technical focus for the company's current mechanical or medical device innovations.
The busiest examiner, LE, QUYNH DAO, is responsible for the pending office action. Since the portfolio involves only an individual examiner and art unit, the prosecution experience is currently limited to a single point of review. Practitioners should focus on the specific requirements of LE, QUYNH DAO to move the company's active application toward allowance.
