Raynergy Tek Incorporation maintains a company patent portfolio that currently includes 1 pending office action. This workload is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, DEGUIRE, SEAN M. The data shows 0 distinct art units associated with this portfolio's current activity. The busiest examiner, DEGUIRE, SEAN M, is responsible for 1 pending action, which accounts for the total number of pending office actions for the company. This concentration under 1 examiner suggests a centralized prosecution process for the current pending matter.
With only 1 pending office action and 1 distinct examiner, the company's immediate patent strategy is focused on 1 point of contact at the patent office. The absence of multiple art units or examiners indicates that the current prosecution is not diversified across different technical groups. Practitioners should focus on the specific examination patterns of DEGUIRE, SEAN M to manage the 1 pending action effectively. The 1 pending action represents the entirety of the company's current interaction with the patent office's examination phase.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
