Teledyne FLIR LLC has 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. Both of these 2 pending office actions are being handled within 1 distinct art unit, which suggests a narrow technical focus for the current prosecution cycle. The company is working with 2 distinct examiners to resolve these matters.
The busiest examiner is BHUIYAN, FAYEZ A, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because there are 2 distinct examiners for the 2 pending office actions, each examiner is handling exactly one case. This allows the applicant to focus on the standards of a single art unit while managing the individual preferences of 2 distinct examiners in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector.
The concentration of 2 pending office actions in 1 distinct art unit provides a level of departmental consistency. However, the involvement of 2 distinct examiners means that the applicant must still address two different sets of examiner feedback. Success in this portfolio requires balancing the unified standards of the art unit with the specific requirements of BHUIYAN, FAYEZ A and the other assigned examiner.
