Planitar Inc. is currently managing 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are located in 2 distinct art units, showing that the company's mechanical and systems-based innovations are being classified in different technical categories. The portfolio is also being reviewed by distinct examiners, with each individual handling the active matters.
GEORGALAS, ANNE MARIE is the busiest examiner for Planitar Inc., with 1 pending office action under review. This matter represents a portion of the pending office actions currently active for the company. Because there are multiple examiners and multiple art units, there is no overlap in the personnel or administrative units reviewing the company's current filings. This requires practitioners to manage the active matters as separate tracks within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area. The pending office actions demand a strategy that accounts for this lack of examiner overlap.
