Aac Technologies (Nanjing) Co. Ltd. has 5 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. These actions are distributed among 5 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units. This distribution shows a broad prosecution front where each pending action is being reviewed by a different examiner in a different art unit, despite all being within the communications field. Such a spread requires the company to manage 5 separate examination timelines and adapt to the specific procedural nuances of 5 distinct art units.
JEREZ LORA, WILLIAM A is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending office action. This 1 busiest examiner pending action is one of the 5 total pending office actions. Given that there are 5 distinct examiners for 5 actions, the workload is evenly spread, and no single examiner is managing a disproportionate share of the company's active cases. This lack of concentration means that the company's patent strategy is not dependent on the findings of any 1 individual, but is instead subject to the independent reviews of 5 different examiners.
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.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
