Lean Medical Technologies Inc. has 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. The current prosecution profile is focused on this single pending matter. This indicates a very specific technical engagement with the patent office at this time. The concentration in a single art unit means that the specialized review is localized within one division of the patent office.
Bridget Elizabeth Rabaglia is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, overseeing the 1 pending office action. With only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit involved, the company's current interaction with the patent office is highly centralized. This indicates a specific and singular technical review process for the pending innovation. This centralized structure allows for a consistent dialogue with the patent office, as all feedback originates from the same examiner and specialized division. The focus on 1 distinct art unit suggests that the company's current patenting efforts are concentrated on a specific niche within the medical devices and mechanical engineering field.
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.
