Greenworks (Jiangsu) Co. Ltd. currently has 17 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 17 pending office actions are handled by 17 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is responsible for a single case. The portfolio is distributed across 7 distinct art units, suggesting a variety of technical focuses. ERB, NATHAN is the busiest examiner, currently overseeing 1 pending office action.
The 17 distinct examiners involved provide a broad base of individual perspectives for the 17 pending office actions. This distribution across 7 distinct art units requires the company to adapt to many different examination styles within Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. ERB, NATHAN, with 1 pending office action, holds the same workload as every other examiner in this portfolio. Practitioners should monitor the 17 pending office actions for consistency across the 7 distinct art units.
The 7 distinct art units represent a significant variety of technical examination standards that the company must meet. With 17 pending office actions and 17 distinct examiners, the prosecution is perfectly decentralized. ERB, NATHAN is identified as the busiest examiner despite only having 1 pending office action, reflecting the even distribution of work across the 17 distinct examiners.
