Analysis

Insurance Services Office Inc. has 16 pending office actions in Communications. Each action is assigned to a distinct examiner, and the matters span 14 distinct art units. The figures show broad examiner dispersion with limited concentration by technical classification, which makes centralized issue tracking more useful than relying on one examiner relationship.

SUBRAMANIAN, NARAYANSWAMY is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The identified examiner does not represent a larger cluster than the other examiners in the profile. Counsel can therefore prioritize individual matter histories while using art-unit information to organize recurring communications issues.
