The portfolio for Ravita Srivastava includes 1 pending office action within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, SHARPLESS, CHRISTEN ALICIA, who is responsible for the 1 busiest examiner pending action. The prosecution is currently limited to 1 distinct art unit, indicating a singular focus for the pending application. Because there is only 1 pending office action, the entity's current interaction with the USPTO is highly concentrated.
SHARPLESS, CHRISTEN ALICIA is the only examiner involved, meaning the success of the current prosecution rests on addressing the specific concerns of this individual. The 1 distinct art unit involved further limits the scope of the current examination to a specific technical specialty within Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. Practitioners should focus on the specific precedents and preferences of the 1 distinct examiner to advance the 1 busiest examiner pending action. This streamlined prosecution environment minimizes the need for coordinating across different USPTO departments or managing conflicting examiner requirements.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
