Guangdong Welly Electrical Appliances Co. Ltd. has 3 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are assigned to 3 distinct examiners. All prosecution activity is centralized within 1 distinct art unit.
Tavia L Sullens is the busiest examiner for the company, handling 1 pending office action. Since there are 3 distinct examiners for the 3 pending actions, each examiner is managing exactly 1 case. The use of 1 distinct art unit indicates a consistent technical focus for these mechanical engineering filings. Practitioners should focus on the specific requirements of this 1 distinct art unit while managing the 3 distinct examiners. This distribution ensures that no single examiner's style dominates the current prosecution of the 3 pending office actions. The 3 distinct examiners provide a variety of individual review styles within a single technical group.
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 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (75%) |
