BEIJING CHEHEJIA AUTOMOBILE TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. has 5 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are distributed across 5 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This indicates that every pending action is being reviewed by a different examiner. The involvement of 3 distinct art units suggests that the company's automotive and mechanical innovations span several different specialized groups.
The busiest examiner for the company is NASH, BRIAN D, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Since there are 5 pending office actions and 5 distinct examiners, each examiner is handling exactly one matter. Practitioners must manage five separate examiner relationships across these three units. This distribution reflects a diverse range of technical subject matter within the company's active portfolio. The requirement to interact with 5 different examiners for 5 actions means that no single examiner's perspective will dominate the current prosecution. Practitioners should expect to tailor their arguments to the specific preferences of each individual examiner across the 3 distinct art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
