Hangzhou Dianzi University holds a company patent portfolio in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The portfolio currently includes 4 pending office actions. These matters are distributed across 3 distinct art units. This distribution suggests that the university's technical disclosures are diverse and touch upon several different specialized areas within the medical device field. The presence of 4 pending office actions indicates an active period of engagement with the patent office.
The prosecution of these cases involves 4 distinct examiners. With 4 pending office actions and 4 distinct examiners, each matter is being reviewed by a different individual. This means there is no overlap in examiners across the 3 distinct art units. Hangzhou Dianzi University must navigate four separate prosecution tracks, each with its own set of examiner preferences and art unit norms. Practitioners should be prepared for a variety of procedural approaches.
NGUYEN, PHONG H is the busiest examiner for the portfolio. This examiner is currently handling 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This accounts for one fourth of the 4 pending office actions currently active for the university. While NGUYEN, PHONG H is the busiest, the workload is evenly spread, meaning no single examiner has a dominant influence over the portfolio's current trajectory.
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.
