Kingsway Enterprises (Uk) Limited maintains a company patent portfolio in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. There are currently 2 pending office actions for this portfolio. These actions are being handled by 2 distinct examiners and are located within 2 distinct art units. This indicates that the company's active matters are split between different technical reviewers and groups.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is OJOFEITIMI, AYODEJI HARRY, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because there are 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, the practitioner must manage two separate prosecution paths. The workload is evenly distributed, as the busiest examiner is only handling 1 of the pending matters. This requires a strategy that addresses the specific tendencies of each distinct examiner and the standards of each distinct art unit. The involvement of 2 distinct art units suggests that the pending applications may cover different technical aspects within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
