Coolhouse Sourcing LLC operates a patent portfolio in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The portfolio currently features 1 pending office action. This prosecution task is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and a distinct art unit. This concentration suggests that the company's current patent strategy in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area is focused on a single application or a narrow technical scope.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is SCHMID, BROOK VICTORIA, who is responsible for the busiest examiner pending office action. This action represents the entirety of the company's current engagement with the patent office. For practitioners, this means that the immediate future of the portfolio depends on the outcome of this specific examination. The lack of diversification across multiple examiners or art units indicates a lean approach to intellectual property at this stage. Success in the pending office action is essential for establishing a foothold in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector, as there are no other active filings to offset potential rejections.
