You can check the current status of a patent application through the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) website using the publication number provided. It is advisable to consult with a patent attorney to help you navigate the complexities of the patent application process and to provide a detailed analysis on the patentability of the invention described in the application you mentioned.
