Cough Monitoring Medical Solutions S A maintains a patent portfolio in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The company has 1 pending office action currently active. This action is assigned to 1 distinct art unit, which aligns with the technical focus of the medical device sector. This indicates that the company's current prosecution is concentrated on a specific medical technology.
The examination process is handled by a distinct examiner, SHOULDERS, ANNIE LEE. This examiner is the busiest for the portfolio, with the pending office action. This concentration shows that the company's current interactions with the patent office are limited to a single examiner and a single art unit. No other examiners are currently involved in the company's pending patent matters.
For a company in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field, having a pending office action with a distinct examiner suggests a highly specific prosecution stage. The outcome of the company's current patent application relies on the review conducted by SHOULDERS, ANNIE LEE within the distinct art unit. Success in this matter will require a strategy tailored to the specific examination practices of this examiner and the standards of the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area.
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.
