Konfoong Materials International Co. Ltd. maintains a patent portfolio in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The portfolio currently shows 1 pending office action. This 1 pending office action is situated within 1 distinct art unit, reflecting the technical focus for the company's current intellectual property efforts. The limited number of active matters suggests a targeted approach to its current filings in the medical and mechanical fields.
The prosecution is handled by 1 distinct examiner, meaning that all current interactions with the patent office are channeled through 1 person. NEIBAUR, ROBERT F is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, holding 1 pending office action. Because the number of 1 distinct examiner and the number of 1 pending office action are the same, the company's current prosecution experience is entirely uniform. Practitioners managing this portfolio deal with the expectations of NEIBAUR, ROBERT F, as no other examiners or 1 distinct art units are currently active in the data provided. This centralization requires a focused strategy tailored to the specific feedback of NEIBAUR, ROBERT F.
