Koya Medical Inc. currently has 2 pending office actions in its company patent portfolio. These actions are categorized under Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. There are 2 distinct examiners assigned to these 2 pending office actions, meaning each action is being reviewed by a different official. These examiners are located in 2 distinct art units, reflecting a technical separation between the two active matters.
MERCADO, LOUIS A is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending action. With 2 pending office actions and 2 distinct examiners, the workload is split evenly. This distribution across 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's innovations in this technology area are diverse enough to fall into different USPTO classifications. Practitioners will interact with 2 distinct examiners, including MERCADO, LOUIS A, who each manage 1 pending action.
The presence of 2 distinct art units for only 2 pending office actions indicates that each matter is being reviewed within a different specialized group. This decentralized approach for the 2 pending office actions ensures that each case is handled by a unique examiner. MERCADO, LOUIS A's 1 pending action represents half of the current active prosecution for the company.
