Hisense Broadband Multimedia Technologies Co. Ltd. has 2 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This distribution shows that each pending matter is being evaluated independently by different personnel in different administrative divisions. The presence of 2 distinct art units indicates that the company's communications technology is being examined under different classification standards.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is BELLO, AGUSTIN, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This count of 1 is compared to the 2 total pending office actions currently active for the company. With 2 distinct examiners each handling a portion of the workload, the company faces a diversified examination process. For the practitioner, this means that there is no central examiner contact for the current portfolio, and each pending action follows its own unique prosecution trajectory within its respective art unit.
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.
