Hangzhou Sizone Electronic Technology Inc. has 4 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 4 examiners across 3 art units, showing broad examiner distribution with limited technical-unit overlap.
NEIBAUR, ROBERT F is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should use coordinated portfolio review for the three art units, while maintaining separate prosecution plans for each examiner assignment.
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 | 1 (25%) |
