Guangdong Lyric Robot Automation Co. Ltd. currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This portfolio is distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, indicating a divided oversight structure for its pending matters. The presence of these 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's technical focus in Chemistry & Materials spans multiple examination groups at the USPTO.
JONATHAN CREPEAU is identified as the busiest examiner for this company, responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This 1 action is part of the 2 pending office actions currently active for the portfolio. With 2 distinct examiners involved, the prosecution strategy requires monitoring individual examiner tendencies across the different matters.
The workload is split, as the busiest examiner handles 1 busiest examiner pending action while the remaining action is assigned to the other distinct examiner. Managing the portfolio across the 2 distinct art units requires addressing the requirements of each unit simultaneously. This structure ensures that the current matters are not concentrated under a single examiner.
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.
