Centro Internacional De Agricultura Tropical-Ciat currently manages 1 pending office action. This activity is focused in the Communications technology area. With 1 pending office action, the company's current patent prosecution efforts are concentrated on a specific matter rather than a broad array of simultaneous filings.
The examination is conducted by 1 distinct examiner who operates within 1 distinct art unit. LEMIEUX, IAN L is the busiest examiner for this portfolio and is responsible for 1 pending office action. This 1 to 1 relationship between the examiner and the pending action centralizes the technical review within the Communications sector.
The reliance on 1 distinct examiner within 1 distinct art unit means that the prosecution strategy is highly dependent on the specific interpretations of LEMIEUX, IAN L. For a company in the Communications field, this 1 pending office action requires a focused response to the specific requirements of the assigned official. The lack of multiple distinct examiners simplifies the administrative tracking of the portfolio but increases the impact of the decisions made by LEMIEUX, IAN L.
