Dongguan Deke Electronic Technology Co. Ltd. has 2 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are being reviewed by 2 distinct examiners, yet they are both located within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that the company's current filings are concentrated in a specific technical niche at the USPTO. The 2 pending office actions reflect the current active volume for the company in this sector.
JUENGST, BRENDON THOMAS is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, managing 1 pending office action. Although there is only 1 distinct art unit, the use of 2 distinct examiners introduces different perspectives into the prosecution process. Practitioners should be prepared to handle the 2 pending office actions by navigating the specific internal policies of the assigned art unit while addressing the individual feedback from the 2 distinct examiners.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
