Hainan Moore Brothers Technology Co. Ltd. currently manages 7 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct art units, indicating a multi-disciplinary approach to their patent filings. This spread suggests that while the company's innovations are rooted in chemistry, they touch upon 3 different specialized examination groups within the patent office.
The portfolio involves 7 distinct examiners, which matches the total number of pending office actions. This suggests that no single examiner is handling multiple active matters for the company, potentially leading to varied examination styles and outcomes across the portfolio. ROBERT C DYE is identified as the busiest examiner, though he is currently responsible for only 1 pending action. This lack of concentration under a single examiner may require the company to adapt its prosecution strategies to the specific preferences of several individuals simultaneously.
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 | 3 (43%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (57%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
