Analysis

PHC Holdings Corporation has 8 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The portfolio includes 8 distinct examiners and 6 distinct art units. Every listed matter has a separate examiner, while the lower art-unit figure indicates repeated activity in some units. Counsel must therefore manage numerous examiner relationships while monitoring unit-level patterns.

OJOFEITIMI, AYODEJI HARRY is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner accounts for a concentrated portion of the docket. A shared technical position may improve consistency, but each response should remain tied to its assigned examiner and art-unit record.

Written from this page's own data; every figure is computed from USPTO records and verified before publication.
