Hollymatic Corporation manages a company patent portfolio in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The portfolio currently features 2 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners, but they are both located within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that while the company is interacting with multiple examiners, its current patenting activity is confined to a 1 technical group at the office, ensuring a consistent technical context for its filings.
The busiest examiner for Hollymatic Corporation is ISKRA, JOSEPH W, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Since there are 2 pending office actions in total, this examiner handles 1 of the company's current workload. The presence of 2 distinct examiners for 2 pending actions means that each examiner is currently reviewing 1 matter for the company. This distribution within 1 distinct art unit allows the company to receive feedback from different examiners while remaining within the same specialized group for the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector.
