Analysis

Zum Services Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These are assigned to 2 distinct examiners across several art units. This distribution shows that each of the active actions is being handled by a different examiner in a different group. The 2 distinct art units indicate technical variety within the company's active filings.

SANTOS-DIAZ, MARIA C is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. Because there are many distinct examiners for the total pending actions, the workload is evenly split. Practitioners will need to manage separate examination styles across the various groups. This lack of concentration across the active office actions means that each case will be reviewed independently. The technical groups involved represent the specific technical niches the company is currently pursuing in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area. Each case is assigned to a different individual among the examiners.
