Civil Aviation University Of China currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This portfolio is distributed across 2 distinct examiners and spans 2 distinct art units, indicating a spread of examination oversight even with a small volume of active matters.
GARCIA-GUERRA, DARLENE is identified as the busiest examiner for this entity, responsible for 1 pending office action. The presence of 2 distinct art units suggests that the university's technical disclosures are being evaluated under different classification frameworks at the patent office, requiring coordination across multiple points of review.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
