Zhejiang Pride Leisure Products Co. Ltd. is actively prosecuting patent applications within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The company currently has 3 pending office actions, indicating a steady level of engagement with the patent office to secure its mechanical innovations. These actions are all situated within 1 distinct art unit, which shows that the company's technology is being reviewed by a single specialized group. This concentration allows for a focused technical approach within that specific division.
The prosecution involves 3 distinct examiners, meaning that each of the 3 pending office actions is being handled by a different person. SHELTON, IAN BRYCE is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently managing 1 pending office action. Because the number of examiners matches the number of pending actions, the workload is spread evenly across the assigned staff. Practitioners should be prepared to manage 3 separate technical dialogues, each with a different examiner, while addressing the specific requirements of the 1 art unit involved in the prosecution.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.

"Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
