Workstorm Com LLC currently manages a patent portfolio featuring 2 pending office actions. These actions are situated within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area, indicating a focus on logistical or mechanical innovations. The prosecution activity is distributed across 2 distinct art units, which suggests that the company's technical disclosures are being evaluated under 2 different classification standards at the patent office.
The company's legal strategy involves 2 distinct examiners, providing a variety of perspectives on the pending applications. Among these, the busiest examiner is GARCIA-GUERRA, DARLENE, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This distribution of 1 action per examiner means that no 1 individual dominates the company's current prosecution landscape. For practitioners, this implies a need to tailor arguments to the specific preferences of 2 examiners despite the relatively small number of total pending actions. The presence of 2 distinct art units further underscores the importance of a versatile approach to addressing different technical requirements and examination styles within the Transportation and E-Commerce sectors.
