China University Of Mining And Technology Beijing has 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This single action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. WHITTINGTON, JESS G is the busiest examiner, overseeing the 1 pending office action. As this is the only pending action for the university, this examiner is the sole point of contact. The 1 distinct art unit involved further highlights the singular focus of the current prosecution activity.
The prosecution profile is currently limited to this one matter. Practitioners are dealing with a single examiner and a single set of art unit guidelines. The presence of only 1 pending office action indicates an extremely narrow current engagement with the patent office. This single case, assigned to WHITTINGTON, JESS G, is the only active matter in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area. Practitioners should tailor their approach to the specific preferences of this one examiner. The lack of broader data across other examiners or art units means that this single case defines the university's current standing in this technology area. Success depends entirely on the outcome of the interaction with this specific examiner and art unit.
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.
