2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Nasarc Technologies Inc. has 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners but are concentrated within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that while the company's filings are grouped in one unit, they are being reviewed by different individuals.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is ISKRA, JOSEPH W, who is handling 1 pending office action. Because there are 2 distinct examiners for the 2 pending actions, the workload is distributed. This 1 to 1 ratio of examiners to actions means the company must address the specific preferences of 2 different examiners within the same art unit. The 2 pending office actions represent the total current prosecution activity for the company.
