Ccl Stressing International Ltd. is active in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The company currently has 3 pending office actions. These matters are all being processed within 1 distinct art unit, showing a high degree of technical focus. This concentration in 1 distinct art unit can lead to a more predictable prosecution environment as the company becomes familiar with the specific standards of that unit.
The portfolio involves 2 distinct examiners. HIJAZ, OMAR F is the busiest examiner for the company. This examiner is responsible for 2 pending office actions, which account for a large portion of the 3 pending office actions currently active. Having HIJAZ, OMAR F handle 2 pending actions provides an opportunity for the company to build a consistent understanding with that individual. The remaining pending action is handled by the other distinct examiner, requiring a different tactical approach for that specific case.
