Guangzhou Jingyilvfang Technology Co. Ltd. currently has 3 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct art units, indicating some technical variety within the portfolio. The workload is managed by 3 distinct examiners, showing that each pending matter is being handled by a different individual. This diversity requires a flexible approach to prosecution. The presence of 2 distinct art units indicates that while the technology is centered in Chemistry & Materials, it may have diverse applications or sub-specialties.
JOHNSON, JENNA LEIGH is the busiest examiner for the company, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Although this examiner is the busiest, they only handle 1 pending office action while the total portfolio contains 3 pending office actions. This distribution suggests that the company must adapt to the different styles of 3 distinct examiners to resolve its current prosecution pipeline. Managing these multiple points of contact is the primary challenge for the company.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
