Anno.ai, Inc. has 2 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. These matters are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and a pair of distinct art units. CAMMARATA, MICHAEL ROBERT is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently managing 1 pending office action.
The presence of the pending office actions across the assigned examiners and art units suggests a diversified prosecution profile within the Communications field. Each pending matter is handled by a different examiner in a different art unit, requiring separate strategies for each. CAMMARATA, MICHAEL ROBERT handles 1 pending office action, representing a significant portion of the current pending workload. Practitioners should account for the unique procedural environment of each of the distinct art units. This arrangement indicates that the portfolio's current filings are technically distinct enough to be reviewed by different specialized groups. Consequently, the prosecution strategy must be tailored to the specific expectations and historical data of each art unit and examiner involved. The alignment of these figures reflects a broad approach to intellectual property development.
