China Waterborne Transport Research Institute holds a company patent portfolio with 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This action is located within 1 distinct art unit, suggesting a specialized technical scope for the pending application. The prosecution is managed by 1 distinct examiner, SCHEUNEMANN, RICHARD N, who is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action.
The 1 to 1 ratio between the pending office action and the 1 distinct examiner means that the prosecution strategy is entirely focused on this single interaction. Because there is only 1 distinct art unit involved, the applicant can concentrate on the specific examination practices and prior art relevant to that mechanical classification. This centralized prosecution environment places the outcome of the current portfolio activity in the hands of SCHEUNEMANN, RICHARD N. Practitioners should evaluate the examiner's specific history within the transportation sector to anticipate potential rejections and streamline the response process for this 1 filing.
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.
