The portfolio spans 4 distinct art units, reflecting a moderate range of technical subject matter. NEAL SEREBOFF is the busiest examiner, currently handling 2 of the 6 pending office actions.
The 6 pending office actions are spread across 5 distinct examiners, meaning the workload is almost entirely decentralized. NEAL SEREBOFF’s 2 pending actions represent the highest concentration of cases for any single examiner. With 4 distinct art units involved, the portfolio's prosecution requires navigating several different technical groups within the USPTO. This distribution across 4 art units suggests that the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems applications cover diverse mechanical or system-level innovations.
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.
