8 pending office actions • 2 art units • 6 examiners • 0 of 8 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 2 patents granted in the last 365 days
Caihong Display Devices Co. Ltd. currently has 8 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are spread across 6 distinct examiners, showing that the workload is shared among several individuals. The portfolio is active in 2 distinct art units, which indicates that the filings in Chemistry & Materials are categorized into at least two different technical specializations.
The busiest examiner for the company is HERRING, LISA L, who is currently overseeing 3 pending office actions. This examiner manages 3 of the 8 total pending office actions for the portfolio. The other pending actions are distributed among the remaining distinct examiners. Practitioners should note that while HERRING, LISA L is the most active, the prosecution still involves 6 distinct examiners in total. The presence of 3 pending actions with this specific examiner in a portfolio of 8 suggests that HERRING, LISA L is a primary point of contact. Navigating the 2 distinct art units will require addressing the specific standards of those divisions.
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 (12%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (12%) |
| §112 only | 2 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (50%) |
