Bestway Inflatables & Material Corp. has 14 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The docket involves 13 distinct examiners across 10 distinct art units, indicating broad distribution across examination resources and technical groupings.
NGUYEN, TUAN N is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That concentration is limited, so counsel should not assume that one examiner's treatment will predict outcomes across the docket. The ten-art-unit spread supports organizing cases by technical issue and art-unit practice, while centralized review can help maintain consistent terminology and positions in related mechanical matters.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (7%) |
| §102 only | 1 (7%) |
| §112 only | 1 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 11 (79%) |
