This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, BRADLEY T KING, and 1 distinct art unit. BRADLEY T KING is the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. This 1 pending office action represents the current focus of the company's patent prosecution.
Because there is only 1 pending office action, the entire current strategy for the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area rests with BRADLEY T KING. This 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit combination means that the applicant does not have to navigate multiple examination styles or conflicting art unit policies.

The 1:1 ratio between the pending office action and the distinct examiner ensures that all current efforts are directed toward a single point of contact within the patent office.
