The 1 distinct art unit involved provides a singular administrative environment for both of the 2 pending office actions.
NGUYEN, CAMTU TRAN is the busiest examiner, holding 1 pending office action. This represents a portion of the 2 pending office actions in the portfolio. Since 2 distinct examiners are working within the same 1 distinct art unit, the company may encounter different interpretations of similar subject matter within a single administrative division. NGUYEN, CAMTU TRAN is one of the 2 distinct examiners involved.
The presence of 2 distinct examiners within 1 distinct art unit requires a strategy that accounts for different examiner preferences on related medical device technology. While NGUYEN, CAMTU TRAN manages 1 pending office action, the other action is handled by a second examiner. This structure allows the company to compare examiner feedback within the same 1 distinct art unit.
