Haohong Electric Technology (Hubei) Co. Ltd. has 5 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are spread across 5 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, indicating a broad and decentralized prosecution profile. Such a distribution suggests that the company's technology covers a wide range of medical and mechanical systems, necessitating interactions with various specialized divisions at the patent office.
GAYE, SAMBA NMN is the busiest examiner for the company. This examiner is managing 1 pending office action, which is 1 of the 5 total actions currently pending for the portfolio. Because each of the pending office actions is handled by a different examiner, the company cannot rely on a 1 point of contact or a uniform examination style. Instead, the prosecution team must manage 5 separate relationships across 3 distinct art units, each with its own technical focus and procedural nuances. This diversity in the portfolio requires a high degree of coordination to ensure that the distinct examiners receive consistent information regarding the company's underlying technology.
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 (75%) |
