Pb Techniek B V currently has 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This indicates that each pending application is being processed independently in different organizational segments of the patent office. The company is managing 2 distinct paths for its current pending workload with no overlap in personnel or art units.
HAYES, KRISTEN C is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending office action. With 2 distinct examiners for the pending office actions, the workload is distributed such that each examiner has 1 pending case. The involvement of 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's technology in this area spans different classification specialties. Consequently, the prosecution strategy must be tailored to the specific requirements and examination cultures of the 2 distinct art units involved.
