2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Fishburne May LLC is currently managing 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. Both of these actions are assigned to 1 distinct examiner, creating a high level of centralization for the company's current prosecution. Furthermore, the entire pending workload is situated within 1 distinct art unit.
ROZANSKI, GRACE NMN is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, overseeing 2 pending office actions. This examiner is responsible for every active challenge the company currently faces at the patent office. For the applicant, this means that the prosecution strategy is focused on the preferences and precedents of this examiner and art unit. Such a concentrated profile simplifies communication but increases the impact of any single examiner's specific interpretation of the prior art. With 2 actions in 1 art unit, the company must ensure its arguments are aligned with the technical standards of that unit.
