3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Ursa Major Technologies, Inc. currently manages 3 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 3 actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, indicating that at least one examiner is handling multiple matters for the company. The prosecution is occurring within 1 distinct art unit, which suggests that the company's technology is concentrated in a single specialized examination group.
MEADE, LORNE EDWARD is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, holding 2 pending office actions. This count of 2 is the highest among the examiners assigned to the 3 pending office actions. The presence of only 1 distinct art unit for 3 pending office actions indicates a high degree of technical focus. Practitioners must navigate the specific requirements of the distinct examiners while working within the same art unit in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector. This concentration allows for a more unified approach to prosecution within this technical field.
