Ideal Warehouse Innovations Inc. has 3 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 3 actions are handled by 3 distinct examiners, showing that each pending matter is being reviewed by a different individual. Despite the variety of examiners, all activity is concentrated within 1 distinct art unit.
WALTERS, JOHN DANIEL is the busiest examiner with 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Because each of the 3 distinct examiners holds 1 action, the workload is evenly distributed. Practitioners should note that while the art unit remains consistent, the prosecution strategies may need to vary to accommodate the different examiners involved in these 3 pending office actions. The concentration in 1 distinct art unit suggests a narrow technical focus within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field. However, the use of 3 distinct examiners means the company must still address separate sets of examiner preferences to resolve its pending office actions.
