Jac S A has 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, NHAT CHIEU Q DO, who is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. The portfolio is currently active in 1 distinct art unit.
The alignment of 1 pending office action with 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit reflects a highly centralized prosecution status. NHAT CHIEU Q DO is the sole individual reviewing the company's active patent matters. This allows for a direct and focused communication strategy during the prosecution of the application in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field. Because the busiest examiner's workload of 1 pending office action accounts for the entire portfolio, there is no variance in examiner behavior to manage.
Practitioners can concentrate on the specific procedural and substantive preferences of NHAT CHIEU Q DO. This singular focus is typical for companies with a single active matter at the patent office. The use of 1 distinct art unit further simplifies the process by ensuring that only one set of departmental guidelines is applicable to the pending action.
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.
