Guangdong Midea Consumer Electric Manufacturing Co. Ltd. currently manages 3 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 3 pending office actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This distribution shows that the company's active matters are being handled by different officials and administrative groups within the same technical field.
The busiest examiner for the company is YOON, JI SUN, who is currently responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. While the total number of pending office actions is higher than this individual's workload, the cases are split among the 3 distinct examiners. This indicates that the company is experiencing multiple examination styles within the Chemistry & Materials sector.
For patent practitioners, the presence of the 3 distinct art units requires a strategy that can adapt to different unit-specific standards. Although the busiest examiner only handles 1 busiest examiner pending office action, the overall activity is spread across multiple officials. This requires a distributed approach to ensure that the specific requirements of each examiner and art unit are addressed across the active cases.
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 |
