Hampton Products International Corporation currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are distributed across 2 distinct art units, indicating that each action is being evaluated by a different specialized group. The 2 pending office actions represent the total current volume for the company in this sector.
The prosecution involves 2 distinct examiners, ensuring that no two actions are reviewed by the same individual. NEUBAUER, THOMAS L is the busiest examiner, currently overseeing 1 busiest examiner pending actions. This 1 busiest examiner pending actions is the same volume as the other pending matter in the portfolio.
Because the 2 distinct examiners are handling the 2 pending office actions, there is no concentration of workload under a single person. The 2 distinct art units involved suggest that the company must navigate different procedural requirements for each application. NEUBAUER, THOMAS L and the other examiner provide a decentralized review process within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field.
