Guangxi University currently has 3 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are distributed across 3 distinct examiners, meaning that each application is being reviewed by a different individual. This distribution of examiners suggests that the university must manage multiple sets of examiner preferences and communication styles simultaneously.
Despite the involvement of 3 distinct examiners, all current prosecution activity is concentrated within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that while the individual reviewers differ, the overarching technical standards and administrative policies governing the 3 pending office actions are consistent. Examiner HINZE, LEO T is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently handling 1 pending office action. For the practitioner, this profile suggests a focused technical strategy where the primary challenge lies in addressing the specific feedback of 3 different examiners within the same specialized unit.
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.
