BEIJING OCEANBASE TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. maintains a portfolio with 5 pending office actions focused in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are distributed across 5 distinct examiners, indicating a spread of review for the 5 pending office actions. The prosecution is organized within 3 distinct art units, suggesting technical diversity within the computing sector.
The busiest examiner, GURMU, MULUEMEBET, is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. This represents a low concentration of work, as the 5 pending office actions are split among 5 distinct examiners. This distribution means that no individual examiner's tendencies will dominate the outcome of the entire pending portfolio. The use of 3 distinct art units further suggests that the company is pursuing multiple sub-categories within the Computing & Software field. Practitioners can expect varied feedback across these 3 different units and 5 examiners, requiring a flexible approach to prosecution rather than focusing on a single examiner's style.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (20%) |
