Wellna Co. Ltd. is currently prosecuting patent applications within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The portfolio contains 2 pending office actions. These 2 pending office actions are handled by 1 distinct examiner, which indicates a concentrated interaction with the USPTO. Having 1 distinct examiner means that the company's prosecution strategy is focused on a single individual's review process.
The company's current activity is situated within 1 distinct art unit. This suggests that the technical subject matter is being evaluated within a specific specialized classification. STEITZ, RACHEL RUNNING is the busiest examiner for this portfolio and is currently overseeing 2 pending office actions. Because STEITZ, RACHEL RUNNING is responsible for all active matters, her specific feedback is central to the company's patent goals.
With 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, the administrative complexity of the portfolio is low. Practitioners can focus on the specific requirements of the 1 distinct art unit. The 2 pending office actions represent the entirety of the current prosecution workload. The role of STEITZ, RACHEL RUNNING is significant, as her 2 pending office actions constitute the full scope of the company's current pending cases.
