Curaden AG has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 2 pending office actions are distributed to 2 distinct examiners, providing separate evaluations for each patent application. Both of these matters are housed within 1 distinct art unit, which indicates that the company's current prosecution is being managed by a single administrative group.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is AVILES BOSQUES, ORLANDO E, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Since this busiest examiner only handles 1 of the 2 pending office actions, the active cases are split evenly between the 2 distinct examiners. This concentration in 1 distinct art unit suggests that while the examiners are different, the procedural environment is likely consistent across the portfolio. Practitioners should focus on the specific standards of this art unit within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
