Ooma Inc. currently manages 1 pending office action within the Communications technology area. This active matter is assigned to 1 distinct art unit, showing a specific technical focus for the company's current prosecution efforts. The examination is being conducted by a distinct examiner, which limits the current administrative interactions to a single point of contact at the USPTO.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is TORRES, MARCOS L, who is responsible for the 1 pending office action. Since there is only a single pending action in the entire portfolio, this examiner handles the total current workload for Ooma Inc. Practitioners can focus their strategy entirely on the specific requirements and historical patterns of this individual and the art unit involved.
The alignment of the pending office action with a distinct examiner and art unit suggests a streamlined path for the current application. In the Communications sector, such focused prosecution allows for a direct dialogue with TORRES, MARCOS L. Success in this matter will depend on addressing the specific concerns raised in the single pending action without the complexity of managing multiple examiners or art units.
