4 pending office actions • 1 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 4 patents granted in the last 365 days
Hubei Wanrun New Energy Technology Co. Ltd. has 4 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners, yet all are situated within a distinct art unit. This concentration suggests that while multiple individuals are reviewing the applications, they are likely applying a consistent set of departmental guidelines and prior art references specific to this technical field.
GODO, OLATUNJI A is the busiest examiner, currently handling 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since the pending actions are split among the examiners, no single individual dominates the workload. This arrangement requires the applicant to manage separate examiner relationships simultaneously while navigating the specific technical expectations of the Chemistry & Materials art unit. The strategy must account for the diverse perspectives of multiple examiners within a unified administrative framework.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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%) |
| §112 only | 2 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
