Carter & Clark LLC maintains a patent portfolio focused on Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The company currently has 1 pending office action, which is being handled by 1 distinct examiner. This examiner, DEMUREN, BABAJIDE A, is the busiest examiner for the company with 1 pending action under review.
The portfolio is currently active in 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that the company's immediate prosecution efforts are localized within the patent office's organizational structure. Because DEMUREN, BABAJIDE A is the only examiner mentioned, the progression of the 1 pending office action depends entirely on the interactions within this 1 distinct art unit. The data reflects a prosecution profile with no current distribution across multiple examiners or art units. For practitioners, this means that the prosecution strategy is currently focused on a single point of contact, requiring a deep understanding of the specific examiner's preferences rather than a broad multi-unit approach.
