Ray Givens currently has 1 pending office action within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This 1 pending office action represents the entirety of the active prosecution for the portfolio at this time. In the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector, maintaining 1 pending office action requires careful management of USPTO deadlines to ensure that the intellectual property protection remains on track.
The prosecution is concentrated under 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. This focus within 1 distinct art unit suggests that the technical scope of the application is highly specialized and does not cross into other technical disciplines. Because there is only 1 distinct examiner involved, the strategy is entirely dependent on the interpretation of a single individual at the patent office.
