The Great States Corporation is currently managing 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners, meaning each pending application is being reviewed by a different person. However, both matters are located within 1 distinct art unit, which suggests the applications involve closely related mechanical or system technologies. This alignment within the art unit can lead to more consistent examination standards for the company's filings.
REHMAN AHMED QURESHI is the busiest examiner for the company, with a pending office action currently assigned. Since the busiest examiner pending count of 1 represents a portion of the total workload, the responsibility is split between the examiners involved. This arrangement requires the company to address the specific feedback of different examiners while operating within the technical standards of the assigned art unit. The presence of 2 pending office actions indicates an active set of filings in the mechanical systems field. By coordinating responses within the art unit, the company can leverage its experience with that specific technical group to improve its overall prosecution efficiency.
