WISTNER, SARAH CLINKSCALES is the busiest examiner, currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This examiner is part of the group of 3 distinct examiners involved in the company's current filings. Because each of the 3 pending office actions is in a different art unit, the practitioner must adapt to 3 distinct art units and their specific examination cultures.
Managing 3 pending office actions requires coordination across multiple examiners. WISTNER, SARAH CLINKSCALES handles 1 busiest examiner pending action, while the remaining actions are distributed among other officials. The involvement of 3 distinct examiners ensures that the portfolio's progress is not tied to the decisions of 1 individual. This variety of 3 distinct art units provides a broad base for the company's intellectual property.
