Analysis

DoorDash Inc. has 9 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. Those matters involve 9 distinct examiners and 8 distinct art units, indicating that the portfolio’s current prosecution activity is distributed across several examination assignments rather than concentrated in one unit.

CORRIELUS, JEAN M is the busiest listed examiner, with 1 pending matter. Because that examiner accounts for only part of the active docket, counsel should track office-action strategy across the broader examiner and art-unit mix.
