Sun Medical Technology Research currently has 1 pending office action within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. Prosecution is localized, involving a distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. This concentration suggests that the company's active patent filings are currently undergoing a very specific review process.
GHAND, JENNIFER LEIGH-STEWAR is the busiest examiner, with the pending office action under their review. As the portfolio only contains the pending office action, this examiner is responsible for all current activity. The presence of 1 distinct art unit indicates that the examination is confined to a technical division at the patent office.
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.
