Analysis

Surgtime Inc. has 1 pending office action in the Networking & Security technology area. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, OSCHTA I MONTOYA. The application is located within 1 distinct art unit. As the busiest examiner, OSCHTA I MONTOYA is responsible for the 1 pending office action currently on record for the company. This single action represents the entirety of the company's current prosecution activity within the networking and security sector.

Because there is only 1 pending office action and 1 distinct examiner, the prosecution is highly focused on a single point of contact. The presence of 1 distinct art unit confirms that the technical scope of the current filing is concentrated within a specific examination group. For a practitioner, this means that the outcome of the company's current patent efforts depends entirely on the evaluation of this 1 examiner. The involvement of 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit indicates a very narrow and focused prosecution profile at this time.
