Analysis

Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics has 6 pending office actions in Computing & Software. The portfolio uses 6 examiners and 6 art units, so each pending action is associated with its own examiner and art-unit setting.

DANGOL, ASHESH is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. This distribution leaves no repeated examiner assignment, making centralized claim strategy and clear technical documentation more important than examiner-specific repetition. Responses can still be coordinated at the portfolio level, but prosecution decisions will need to account for each separate examination context.
