Analysis

Bosch Automotive Products (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. has 2 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters are distributed across 2 examiners and 2 art units, indicating that the current prosecution workload spans more than one examination assignment.

ZALESKAS, JOHN M is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. The examiner distribution is therefore not concentrated in a single examiner. Counsel reviewing this portfolio should track both examiner interactions separately and confirm whether the art-unit assignments raise distinct claim-scope or prior-art issues.
