Psa Automobiles SA is currently managing 1 pending office action in the Networking & Security technology area. This matter is assigned to examiner CHU, WUTCHUNG, who is the busiest examiner for the portfolio with 1 pending action. The prosecution footprint involves 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit.
The 1 pending office action represents the total current workload for the portfolio at the patent office. Because CHU, WUTCHUNG is the 1 examiner involved, the prosecution strategy can be tailored to the specific requirements of this individual. The involvement of the Networking & Security area suggests the filings are subject to the specific examination guidelines of that field.
The data shows that 1 distinct art unit is responsible for the review of the pending matter. This concentration in the administrative division means the practitioner does not need to coordinate across different art units. The current profile reflects a prosecution state where the active matter is handled by CHU, WUTCHUNG within the technical category. This allows for a specific approach to the pending office action without the need to manage different examiner preferences.
