2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Sure, Inc. is currently navigating 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 2 pending office actions are being handled by 2 distinct examiners, indicating that each pending matter is under the review of a separate individual. This distribution among 2 distinct examiners suggests that the company's current prosecution efforts are not concentrated under a single examiner's discretion.
The 2 pending office actions are also split across 2 distinct art units. This distribution across 2 distinct art units means that the company must address the specific requirements of 2 distinct technical divisions at the USPTO. SCHWARZENBERG, PAUL is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently managing 1 pending office action. Since there are only 2 pending actions in total, the workload is evenly divided between the 2 distinct examiners and the 2 distinct art units. This structure requires a broad approach to prosecution, as each application is being evaluated in a unique administrative environment.
