Builtright Industries LLC currently manages 1 pending office action within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This single action represents the entirety of the company's active prosecution before the USPTO. The focus on transportation and mechanical systems suggests that the company's current intellectual property efforts are concentrated within these specific technical domains.
The portfolio's activity is limited to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. This concentration indicates a streamlined review process, where the company's pending workload is subject to the oversight of a single individual within one technical division. For the practitioner, this simplifies the management of the portfolio as there are no conflicting examiner requirements to navigate across different units.
Gutman, Hilary L is identified as the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action. Since there is only 1 pending office action total, this examiner is the sole point of contact for the company's current USPTO matters. Success in this portfolio depends on understanding the specific preferences and prior art interpretations of this one examiner to effectively advance the company's interests.
