Price Industries Inc. currently has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 2 actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, which indicates that different individuals are reviewing the company's active applications. This provides multiple perspectives even within a small portfolio of 2 pending matters.
The 2 distinct examiners are located in 2 distinct art units. This distribution shows that the company's applications are being reviewed in different specialized sections of the patent office. Even with a small number of 2 pending actions, the portfolio is spread across multiple administrative units rather than being concentrated in a single art unit.
