Cormatrix Cardiovascular Inc. is addressing 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The company's prosecution is limited to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, reflecting a focused effort on its cardiovascular medical device technology. This concentration allows for a streamlined response process, as the company only needs to navigate the requirements of a single examiner within a specific technical department.
GANESAN, SUBA is the busiest examiner with 1 busiest examiner pending action. This 1 pending office action represents the full current workload for the company. By focusing all administrative activity within 1 distinct art unit, the applicant can ensure that their prosecution strategy remains consistent with the specific technical standards and examination practices of that particular department. This singular focus on one examiner and art unit is advantageous for ensuring that the technical nuances of the cardiovascular device are consistently understood throughout the prosecution process.
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.
