Ovd Kinegram AG is currently handling 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are split between 2 distinct examiners, with LEWIS, JUSTIN V serving as the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. This distribution shows that the company's current workload is split evenly between different examiners, requiring a strategy that accounts for the individual perspectives and potential inconsistencies between the people reviewing the applications.
The involvement of distinct art units suggests a direct relationship between the technical groups and the individuals reviewing the applications. This indicates that the company's technology, while categorized under a single broad area, touches upon different specialized sub-sectors within the patent office. The alignment of examiners across art units means that the applicant is dealing with separate administrative environments, which may result in different examination speeds and procedural requirements for each of the pending actions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
