The busiest examiner for this portfolio is MARCHEWKA, MATTHEW R, who is managing 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because the total number of pending office actions is 1, this examiner is responsible for all of the company's active patent prosecution. Practitioners should be aware that the portfolio's current progress is entirely dependent on the interactions with this 1 examiner. The consolidation of the docket into 1 art unit and under 1 examiner means that the company's immediate patent strategy is highly concentrated, requiring a precise and targeted approach to this specific examination process.
