Hergy International Corp. is managing 1 pending office action in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This action is being handled by a distinct examiner, TAI, XIUYU, within 1 distinct art unit. As the busiest examiner for the portfolio, TAI, XIUYU is responsible for the 1 pending office action.
The presence of only a single pending office action suggests a focused prosecution effort within the Chemistry & Materials sector. Because the workload is limited to a single examiner and a single art unit, the company's immediate patent outcomes depend on the specific interpretation of TAI, XIUYU. This lack of diversification across examiners means that there are no internal benchmarks to compare examiner behavior for this portfolio.
For practitioners, the pending office action represents the total current activity for the company at the patent office. The 1 distinct art unit involved will provide the regulatory context for the examination. Since TAI, XIUYU is the only examiner with a pending office action, their past decisions in Chemistry & Materials will be the most relevant indicator for future results.
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.
