3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Revelyst Operations LLC maintains a patent portfolio focused on the technology area of Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The company currently faces 3 pending office actions, which are distributed across 3 distinct examiners. This distribution indicates that the prosecution workload is spread among different individuals within the patent office.
Despite the involvement of 3 distinct examiners, all active matters are centralized within 1 distinct art unit. This concentration suggests that while the individual examiners vary, the technical review remains within a specific administrative group. MCNURLEN, SCOTT THOMAS is the busiest examiner for the company, currently overseeing 1 pending office action.
The presence of 1 distinct art unit implies a focused examination process for the 3 pending office actions. Practitioners can anticipate that prosecution will be governed by the specific guidelines of the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The workload assigned to MCNURLEN, SCOTT THOMAS represents a portion of the company's active efforts.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
