Aac Optics (Chongqing) Co. Ltd. has 2 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters are assigned to 2 examiners but only 1 art unit, placing the portfolio within one technical examination organization while distributing review among examiners.
SNELTING, ERIN LYNN is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Because the pending matters are not concentrated with one examiner, counsel should maintain a consistent technical record while tailoring responses to each examiner's analysis.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
