Marvin Lumber And Cedar Company Llcd/B/A Marvin Windows And Doors currently has 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This 1 action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and a distinct art unit. This represents a prosecution profile where the company's active portfolio is managed by a single individual within a specialized group at the patent office.
HESCHEL, SUSAN MARIE is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, holding the pending action. Because there is only a single pending office action total, this examiner's decisions will determine the success of the company's current prosecution efforts. The alignment of an examiner and an art unit for the action indicates a prosecution path for the company's current interests.
For a practitioner, this data suggests that the company's current interaction with the patent office is limited to a single point of contact. The matching counts between pending actions, examiners, and art units leaves no room for comparative analysis of examiner behavior within this specific portfolio. The focus on the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area is represented by this active case and its assigned examiner. This concentration requires a strategy focused on the specific tendencies of the busiest examiner.
