Axts Inc. has 6 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed across 6 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. GOMBERG, BENJAMIN S is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently handling 1 pending office action. With 6 pending office actions and 6 distinct examiners, each active matter is being reviewed by a different individual, which may result in different prosecution experiences for each application.
The 2 distinct art units indicate that the portfolio's subject matter is concentrated within a few specialized USPTO divisions. GOMBERG, BENJAMIN S, while being the busiest examiner, only handles 1 pending office action, reflecting the lack of concentration in the portfolio's current workload. Practitioners should be prepared to address the specific requirements of 2 distinct art units while managing the 6 pending office actions. This distribution suggests that the company's innovations in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems are being scrutinized from several different technical angles. The 6 distinct examiners will each apply their own interpretations to the 6 pending office actions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
