Hvr Cardio OY is active in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The company currently has 3 pending office actions. These 3 pending office actions are handled by 3 distinct examiners. This distribution indicates that each pending matter is being reviewed by a different individual at the patent office. Practitioners should prepare for 3 different sets of examiner preferences and communication styles.
The portfolio is distributed across 2 distinct art units. This involvement in 2 distinct art units shows that the company's technical subject matter is evaluated by two separate specialized groups. MCEVOY, THOMAS M is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 pending office action. Because MCEVOY, THOMAS M only handles 1 pending office action, his influence is limited to a single case within the current portfolio.
With 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, the prosecution strategy requires coordination across different technical divisions. Practitioners should be prepared for the specific requirements of each of the 2 distinct art units. The 3 pending office actions are spread across the USPTO's examination staff. The role of MCEVOY, THOMAS M is one of several separate examiner interactions, ensuring a decentralized review process for the portfolio.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
