Aidite (Qinhuangdao) Technology Co. Ltd. currently has 2 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 2 pending office actions are both located within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates a very specific technical focus for the company's current filings.
The 2 pending office actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners. Rummel, Ian A is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. With 2 distinct examiners and 1 distinct art unit, the prosecution team must manage two separate examiner interactions within the same technical division. This requires adapting to different examiner preferences for each case.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
