Ess 2 Tech LLC is currently managing 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and multiple art units. This distribution indicates that the company's current patent applications are being reviewed by different individuals in different specialized sections of the patent office, rather than being consolidated under a single examiner.
DUNNE, KENNETH MICHAEL is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 pending office action. Given the total number of pending office actions and multiple examiners, the workload is split, with each examiner handling a case. This requires the applicant to manage separate prosecution tracks across the distinct art units. Success for Ess 2 Tech LLC in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area will involve addressing the specific feedback from both of the distinct examiners involved.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.

"Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
