China Telecom Corporation Limited has 4 pending office actions in Communications. The portfolio spans 4 examiners and 4 art units, indicating that each pending matter is associated with a distinct examiner and art-unit assignment in the available data.
NEFF, MICHAEL R is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should therefore plan across multiple examination settings rather than treating the docket as controlled by one examiner or art unit.
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.
