Fujian Ligang New Material Technology Co. Ltd. currently manages 1 pending office action within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, AIYING ZHAO, and 1 distinct art unit. AIYING ZHAO is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, handling 1 pending office action.
The 1 pending office action is the only active matter for the company at this time. Because it is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, the prosecution team can tailor its approach to the specific habits of AIYING ZHAO. The 1 distinct art unit suggests that the technical subject matter is focused within a single specialized group. This concentration in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering area allows for a direct line of communication with the USPTO.
With 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, the portfolio lacks the complexity of multi-examiner coordination. The 1 pending office action represents the full scope of the company's current legal challenges in patent procurement. Practitioners should note that AIYING ZHAO is the sole individual responsible for the examination of this portfolio. The 1 distinct art unit provides a stable environment for resolving the pending matter.
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.
