Gudeng Precision Industrial Co., Ltd. has 13 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 9 distinct examiners and 7 distinct art units, showing recurring assignments across both examination personnel and technical groups. That distribution allows counsel to look for common issues while retaining matter-specific strategies.
SPICER, JENINE MARIE is the busiest examiner, with 4 pending matters. This is a useful concentration for examiner-focused review and coordination. The remaining assignments across several examiners and art units make it important to combine that targeted work with consistent portfolio-level claim and disclosure practices.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 5 (38%) |
| §102 only | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (54%) |
