Outsight currently manages 1 pending office action within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The prosecution landscape for this company features 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. This structure shows that the company's current patenting efforts are focused on a specific technical domain under a single administrative review.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is NGUYEN, RACHEL NICOLE, who is currently handling 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Because there is only 1 distinct examiner for the entire portfolio, NGUYEN, RACHEL NICOLE is responsible for all of the company's pending actions. This concentration means that the company's current patent outcomes are dependent on the decisions of this examiner.
The involvement of 1 distinct art unit indicates that the technical subject matter is being evaluated by one specialized group. With 1 pending office action total, the company's current active docket is small and focused.
