Dutch Clips LLC currently manages 4 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are distributed among 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, showing the prosecution landscape for the portfolio. The busiest examiner, HAWK, NOAH CHANDLER, is responsible for 2 pending office actions.
The 2 pending office actions assigned to HAWK, NOAH CHANDLER are part of the company's total of 4 pending office actions. The remaining actions are split among the other distinct examiners. This distribution across 3 distinct art units suggests that the company's Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems innovations span several specialized sub-fields. Practitioners should coordinate across these 3 distinct art units to ensure consistent arguments across the portfolio. This variety in examiners and units requires a strategy that accounts for multiple perspectives within the patent office.
