Anaut Inc. has 2 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and are spread across 2 distinct art units. The count of 2 pending office actions matches the count of 2 distinct examiners. This workload is also distributed across 2 distinct art units, which is equal to the number of examiners.
The busiest examiner, TSAI, TSUNG YIN, is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. This 1 busiest examiner pending action is one of the 2 pending office actions in the total portfolio. Since there are 2 distinct examiners, the workload is divided between them. The 2 distinct art units suggest that the pending office actions cover different technical aspects of the Communications sector. Practitioners will need to manage two separate prosecution tracks, each with its own examiner and art unit requirements. The 1 busiest examiner pending action assigned to TSAI, TSUNG YIN represents one of the current active matters.
