These 3 actions are assigned to 3 distinct examiners, indicating that each matter is being reviewed by a different person.

With only 3 pending office actions in total, the workload is evenly distributed across the 3 distinct examiners. Practitioners should note that the 2 distinct art units involved may have different examination standards. The parity between the number of actions and the number of examiners highlights a decentralized prosecution for these matters.
