Chengdu Pbm Technology Ltd. has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and distinct art units. Samuel Park is the busiest examiner for the company, managing 1 of the pending office actions. The portfolio's current prosecution is split equally between the distinct examiners.
The presence of 2 pending office actions in distinct art units suggests that the company's technology is being reviewed under different specialized standards. Samuel Park is responsible for 1 of the pending office actions, meaning no single examiner has total control over the pending portfolio. This distribution across distinct examiners provides Chengdu Pbm Technology Ltd. with a variety of feedback from the patent office. Practitioners should note that the prosecution strategy must account for the different technical tendencies of these examiners to achieve favorable results.
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.
