Haohong Electric Technology (Hubei) Co. Ltd. currently faces 6 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 6 actions are being handled by 6 distinct examiners, yet they are concentrated within only 2 distinct art units. ULATOWSKI, EMMA ELIZABETH is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, managing 1 pending action. The presence of 6 distinct examiners for 6 pending actions indicates that no single examiner is handling multiple matters.
The concentration of 6 pending office actions within only 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's technology is focused on specific mechanical or medical classifications. However, the use of 6 distinct examiners means that the company must navigate 6 different individual perspectives during prosecution. ULATOWSKI, EMMA ELIZABETH, despite being the busiest examiner with 1 pending action, does not hold a majority of the workload. This profile requires a strategy that accounts for the high number of examiners relative to the small number of art units involved in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector.
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 (50%) |
| §102 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (33%) |
