Universite Paris-Est Creteil Val De Marne currently manages a portfolio focused on the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The data shows 1 pending office action across the entire portfolio, indicating a specific window of active prosecution. This 1 pending action is being reviewed within 1 distinct art unit, suggesting a specialized technical focus for the current filings. The limited scope of active matters suggests that the applicant is pursuing a targeted patent strategy.
The prosecution is handled by 1 distinct examiner, ensuring a consistent point of contact for the applicant.
