This spread suggests that the company's current prosecution efforts are not concentrated under a single reviewer.
BACA, MATTHEW WALTER is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending office action. This represents 1 of the 2 pending office actions in the portfolio, showing that the workload is evenly split between the 2 distinct examiners involved in the prosecution process.
