Sanuwave Inc. currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, ensuring that each pending matter is under the review of a different individual. Furthermore, the examiners are located in distinct art units, which suggests that the applications cover different technical niches within the broader category.
The busiest examiner for the company is NGUYEN, HIEP VAN, who holds 1 pending office action. With the pending office actions split between the distinct examiners and the art units, the portfolio's current prosecution is decentralized. This requires the applicant to manage separate examiner relationships and different art unit environments simultaneously. Because there are distinct examiners for the pending office actions, the company must tailor its legal arguments to unique sets of examiner expectations. The company must remain agile to address the specific technical requirements of each art unit involved.
