Venova Medical Inc. currently manages 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This action is assigned to QUYNH DAO LE, the 1 distinct examiner currently active for the company. The prosecution is focused within 1 distinct art unit, reflecting a singular administrative path. QUYNH DAO LE is the busiest examiner with 1 busiest examiner pending office action, representing the single active prosecution thread for the company.
The concentration of the 1 pending office action under 1 distinct examiner means that the applicant only needs to manage one set of examiner preferences. Similarly, the 1 distinct art unit ensures that the technical review follows a single set of administrative procedures. The progress of the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering filing is entirely dependent on the schedule of QUYNH DAO LE. Practitioners should focus their efforts on the specific requirements of the busiest examiner, as there are no other examiners or art units to navigate. This lack of dispersion simplifies the management of the 1 pending office action within the 1 distinct art unit.
