2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 8 patents granted in the last 365 days
Huike (Singapore) Holding Pte. Ltd. currently has 2 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. Both of these actions are located within 1 distinct art unit, which suggests that the company's patent applications are technically similar. However, the prosecution is split between 2 distinct examiners, so each pending action is being reviewed by a different person.
ABHISHEK SARMA is the busiest examiner for the company, currently managing 1 pending office action. This accounts for a portion of the total 2 pending actions in the portfolio. While the 1 distinct art unit provides a consistent procedural framework, the involvement of 2 distinct examiners means the company must address different individual perspectives to resolve the 2 pending office actions.
The concentration of 2 pending office actions in 1 art unit within the Communications field allows for a focused prosecution strategy. Even with 2 distinct examiners, the shared art unit environment may lead to similar examination patterns. Practitioners should look for consistency in how the 1 art unit handles these communications claims within the Communications 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.
