New Imaging Technologies is currently prosecuting 1 pending office action in the Communications technology area. This matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, reflecting the current prosecution effort. The work is located within 1 distinct art unit, which points to a specific technical application of their imaging innovations. This focus within 1 distinct art unit suggests that the company's current patent activity is targeted at a specialized segment of the communications field.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is HENN, TIMOTHY J, who holds the 1 pending office action. With only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit in play, the company's patent strategy is focused on a single point of contact at the USPTO. Success relies on effectively addressing the specific concerns of HENN, TIMOTHY J to move the 1 pending office action toward allowance. Practitioners should tailor their approach to the specific examination history of this examiner to resolve the matter efficiently. The fact that the active workload is under one examiner means that the outcome for the Communications portfolio is dependent on this individual's decisions.
