MACLEAN-FOGG Company shows an active prosecution profile with 7 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are spread across 6 distinct examiners and 6 distinct art units, suggesting a wide-ranging set of patent applications. SHANSKE, JASON D is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, managing 2 busiest examiner pending office actions. The distribution of 7 pending office actions among 6 distinct examiners indicates that the company is engaging with a broad cross-section of the patent office's mechanical expertise.
With 6 distinct art units involved, the portfolio covers a variety of sub-technologies within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field. SHANSKE, JASON D holds a slightly higher concentration of the workload with 2 busiest examiner pending actions, while the remaining actions are handled by other individuals. This level of activity, involving 6 distinct examiners, requires a coordinated prosecution strategy to ensure consistency across the 7 pending office actions. For a practitioner, the high ratio of examiners to actions suggests that most matters are being handled independently, reducing the risk that a single examiner's bias will affect the entire portfolio.
