Quin Global US Inc. operates in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area and currently has 1 pending office action. This matter is being handled by 1 distinct examiner. This represents a highly concentrated prosecution effort with only a pending matter currently pending before the patent office, allowing for a very focused legal strategy.
The busiest examiner for the company is PATTERSON, MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER. Given that there is only a pending office action in total, this examiner is the sole point of contact for the company's current patent applications. The focus within a distinct art unit suggests that the company's current intellectual property efforts are directed toward a specific technical niche. Success in this area will depend on successfully navigating the requirements of this individual examiner and the specific standards of the assigned unit.
