Because there is only 1 distinct art unit involved, the company does not need to manage varying examination styles across different technical divisions at this time.
With 1 pending office action, the company's current patent office activity is localized. The 1 distinct examiner, NEAL, TIMOTHY JAY, is responsible for the entirety of the pending matters. This structure allows for a direct prosecution strategy within the 1 distinct art unit that currently houses the company's active intellectual property case in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering.
