This matter is being handled by 1 distinct examiner within 1 distinct art unit, representing a highly focused prosecution footprint. The specific examiner assigned to this case is EL-BATHY, IBRAHIM N. This concentration suggests that the company's current patent strategy is heavily reliant on the outcomes of a technical area and administrative oversight.
Because EL-BATHY, IBRAHIM N is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action, the entirety of the company's current USPTO interaction is concentrated with this individual.
