Ship 2 Shore Inc. manages a company patent portfolio in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. There is currently 1 pending office action for this portfolio. This 1 pending office action is being handled by 1 distinct examiner, creating a concentrated prosecution environment for the company's current intellectual property matters. Having 1 pending office action and 1 distinct examiner means the company's immediate patenting goals are focused on a single point of review within the patent office.
The portfolio's activity is limited to 1 distinct art unit. WALKER, AJA ARYANNA is the busiest examiner, responsible for the 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Because there is only 1 pending office action, the busiest examiner is the only examiner involved in the current pending workload. This concentration in 1 distinct art unit and 1 distinct examiner means that the company's current patent strategy is tied to the review of 1 individual. This can lead to a consistent prosecution experience, as the company only needs to address the specific concerns and examination style of 1 examiner within the Chemistry & Materials field. The focus on 1 distinct art unit allows the legal team to tailor their arguments to the specific procedural trends of that unit.
