Guangdong Aoyun Technology Co. Ltd. manages 3 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 3 actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that each active matter is being reviewed by a different examiner, though two of the cases are located within the same art unit. The involvement of 2 distinct art units for 3 actions suggests a focused range of medical device innovations.
Danielle M Christensen is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Since each of the 3 pending actions is assigned to a different examiner, the workload is split among the 3 distinct examiners. Practitioners should prepare for different examination styles across these 2 distinct art units, requiring a tailored approach for each individual case. This high ratio of examiners to 3 pending actions highlights the need for coordination across multiple individual examiner perspectives.
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 (33%) |
| §112 only | 1 (33%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (33%) |
