Shinkei Systems Corp. maintains 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The company's current prosecution footprint is limited to a distinct examiner and a distinct art unit. This indicates a centralized examination process for the pending matter, with no current fragmentation across different patent office groups. Such a structure suggests that the company is pursuing a specific technical advancement rather than a broad array of inventions.
The busiest examiner identified is PRICE JR, RICHARD THOMAS, who holds 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since the company only has the pending office action previously mentioned, this examiner manages the full scope of the active portfolio. Prosecution outcomes for the company are currently tied to the specific art unit and examiner assigned to this case. The focus on the distinct art unit suggests that the company's current intellectual property efforts in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems are highly specialized. This allows for a focused analysis of the examiner's past allowance rates.
