Practitioners must manage 2 distinct examiner relationships within the same 1 distinct art unit. The 1 busiest examiner pending action represents a portion of the company's 2 pending office actions. This arrangement requires a coordinated approach to ensure consistent arguments are presented to the 2 distinct examiners. The 1 distinct art unit serves as the primary hub for the current 2 pending office actions.
