The company's current patent activity is highly focused, as evidenced by the single pending office action. With only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit involved, the prosecution path is straightforward. BRADEN, SHAWN M is the only examiner currently reviewing the company's pending mechanical engineering work.
The concentration of the workload under a single examiner suggests a streamlined prosecution process. Because there is only 1 busiest examiner pending action, the technical focus of the examination remains narrow. Practitioners working with BRADEN, SHAWN M will find that this individual manages the entirety of the company's currently pending work. This structure allows for a very specific legal strategy tailored to the preferences of a single examiner.
