Dongguan Yih Teh Electric Products Co. Ltd. currently has 2 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. The busiest examiner is LEE, AHAM NMN, who is responsible for 1 pending office action.
The portfolio's 2 pending office actions are being prosecuted independently, as evidenced by the 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This means that the company's innovations in Chemistry & Materials are being scrutinized by different technical groups. LEE, AHAM NMN, with 1 pending office action, manages half of the current pending workload.
The presence of 2 distinct art units suggests that the 2 pending office actions involve different chemical or material classifications. Because there are 2 distinct examiners, there is no single point of contact for the company's current patent applications. Practitioners must tailor their approach to the specific expectations of both LEE, AHAM NMN and the other examiner involved in the 2 pending office actions.
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.
