Vulture Systems LLC has 2 pending office actions currently active in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. Both of these actions are assigned to 1 distinct examiner, which indicates a high level of examiner-specific concentration for the company's current docket. Furthermore, these matters are located within 1 distinct art unit, centralizing the prosecution within a single administrative division of the patent office.
The busiest examiner, GLOVER, SHANNA DANIELLE, is managing 2 busiest examiner pending office actions. This means that this individual is responsible for the company's 2 pending office actions. For the practitioner, this concentration suggests that the prosecution strategy for the entire active portfolio is subject to the individual tendencies of 1 distinct examiner. The alignment of 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit for all 2 pending office actions simplifies the points of contact but increases the impact of that examiner's decisions on the company's intellectual property goals.
