Medicalmine Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that each pending matter is being reviewed in a separate administrative group. The use of 2 distinct art units for 2 actions suggests that the subject matter of these applications is technically distinct within the transportation and mechanical systems field.
HIGGS, STELLA EUN is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action. With 2 distinct examiners for 2 pending actions, the workload is evenly split between the assigned personnel. For the practitioner, this means that separate prosecution strategies are required, as there is no overlap in examiners or art units. This lack of overlap requires the company to address the specific preferences and standards of 2 different examiners across 2 different technical divisions at the patent office.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
