Analysis

Reliance Worldwide Corporation has 3 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters are assigned to 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, so each pending matter is associated with a separate examiner and art-unit combination.

MURPHY, KEVIN F is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner has multiple matters in the current profile. The even distribution supports matter-by-matter prosecution planning, with limited evidence of a recurring examiner concentration that would justify a common response approach.
