Bigpanda Inc. is managing 2 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners. Both actions are currently being processed within 1 distinct art unit. This suggests that while different individuals are reviewing the applications, they are working within the same technical specialty of Computing & Software.
The busiest examiner for the company is MCCARTHY, CHRISTOPHER S. This examiner is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This accounts for half of the 2 pending office actions currently active for the company. With 2 distinct examiners for 2 actions, the workload is evenly divided. Practitioners should note that the 1 distinct art unit will likely provide a consistent examination environment for both of the 2 pending office actions.
