ROBINSON, RENEE E serves as the busiest examiner for the company, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. This count for the busiest examiner matches the total volume of the company's active office actions. The presence of the action across the 1 art unit suggests that the company's current patent strategy in this area is channeled through a single administrative path. For the practitioner, this means that the prosecution success for the current portfolio is dependent on the dialogue with this examiner in this environment.
