Raymarine UK Limited is managing 4 pending office actions. These actions are within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The company's matters are handled by 2 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units. Davin Seol is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing 3 pending actions.
This means that Davin Seol is responsible for the vast majority of the company's 4 pending office actions. The distribution across 2 distinct art units suggests that the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology is being reviewed by two different examination groups. Practitioners should focus heavily on the preferences of Davin Seol, given their 3 pending actions. The involvement of only 2 distinct examiners for 4 pending office actions indicates a high concentration of the workload. This can lead to more consistent outcomes if the relationship with the examiners is positive. However, it also means that the company's current prosecution success is largely dependent on the decisions of just 2 distinct examiners. Managing these 4 pending office actions requires a targeted approach within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
