Addénergie Technologies Inc. is managing 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These cases are assigned to 2 distinct examiners but are both located within 1 distinct art unit. This concentration in a single art unit indicates a focused technical area for the company current patent applications.
The busiest examiner, ZHOU, ZIXUAN, handles 1 busiest_examiner_pending. This accounts for one of the 2 pending office actions currently active. Because there are 2 distinct examiners involved, the company must manage two separate examiner relationships within the same 1 distinct art unit.
The use of 1 distinct art unit suggests that the 2 pending office actions are subject to the same set of internal guidelines and supervisory review. However, the 2 distinct examiners, including ZHOU, ZIXUAN, may have different individual styles that will affect the 2 pending office actions. Practitioners should be prepared for this variation while benefiting from the unified procedural environment of the 1 distinct art unit.
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.
