Wilson Tool International Inc. has 3 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 3 actions are handled by 3 distinct examiners. The prosecution is distributed across 2 distinct art units, indicating some technical variety within the medical device and mechanical categories. This spread requires the company to address multiple examiners even when applications fall within the same general technology area.
DICKSTEIN, WILLIAM DOUGLAS is the busiest examiner for the company, currently managing 1 pending office action. With 3 distinct examiners for the 3 pending office actions, DICKSTEIN, WILLIAM DOUGLAS handles exactly one-third of the active matters. This 1 pending action is part of the total 3 pending office actions for the portfolio. The workload is evenly distributed, as each of the 3 distinct examiners is responsible for exactly 1 pending action.
The 2 distinct art units suggest that the company's applications are classified into two different specialized groups. Because there are 3 distinct examiners, at least 1 art unit must contain multiple examiners for this portfolio. DICKSTEIN, WILLIAM DOUGLAS's 1 pending office action is one of the 3 total pending office actions currently being prosecuted, highlighting a decentralized examination process for the company's innovations.
