The portfolio currently contains 3 pending office actions. These 3 pending office actions are being processed within 1 distinct art unit, which indicates a unified technical focus for the company's current patent applications.
The prosecution is distributed among 2 distinct examiners. This means that while the technical field is narrow, the company must address the perspectives of 2 different individuals. The presence of 2 distinct examiners within 1 distinct art unit suggests that the workload is concentrated in a specific area of the patent office but subject to the review of more than 1 person.
