STAUBACH, CARL C is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, managing 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Because the company's total pending office actions count is 1, this examiner is responsible for the entire active docket. The presence of 1 distinct art unit means that the company's current patenting activity is confined to one specialized group at the patent office. Practitioners should focus their efforts on this 1 examiner, as the success of the company's current pending application depends entirely on this individual's review within their specific art unit.
