Vbrato LLC has 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. This represents a focused prosecution profile, with the company's current active matter being handled by a single individual within one specialized technical group at the patent office.
MACASIANO, MARILYN G is the busiest examiner for the portfolio. This examiner is managing the 1 pending office action. Because there is only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit involved in the company's pending workload, the prosecution strategy is centered on this single case. This level of concentration means that the company's current patent efforts are subject to the specific interpretations and requirements of one examiner. Practitioners should focus on the technical standards and prior art relevant to the assigned art unit while addressing the specific feedback provided by this examiner.
