Chang'An University manages a company patent portfolio with 5 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 5 pending office actions are distributed across 5 distinct art units. The prosecution involves 5 distinct examiners.
ABD EL LATIF, HOSSAM M is the busiest examiner for the portfolio. This examiner is responsible for 1 pending office action. This count of 1 pending office action is the highest number assigned to any examiner within the portfolio. The assignment of cases shows how the patent office distributes the company's filings among its staff.
Practitioners should address the requirements of the 5 distinct art units. The prosecution of these matters depends on the specific standards of the assigned art units and the perspectives of the 5 distinct examiners. Each application requires a focused approach to navigate the legal and technical hurdles presented during the examination process. This ensures that every filing is evaluated based on the technical merits of the disclosed invention. This specific attention helps in managing the requirements of the patent office.
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 | 2 (40%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (20%) |
| §103 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (20%) |
