Huizhou Desay Sv Automotive Co. Ltd. maintains a prosecution profile within the Transportation, E-Commerce and Mechanical Systems technology area. The portfolio currently features 6 pending office actions, which are distributed among 6 distinct examiners. This one-to-one ratio of actions to examiners suggests that the company is receiving feedback from a range of perspectives at the USPTO. The use of 6 distinct examiners ensures that no single individual's tendencies will dominate the overall success of the portfolio.
The active applications are spread across 5 distinct art units, reflecting a technical footprint within the automotive and mechanical systems sector. LANGHORNE, NICHOLAS PATRICK is identified as the busiest examiner, though they are only responsible for 1 pending office action. This parity across the examiner pool means that the company must manage 6 different prosecution styles simultaneously. For practitioners, this requires a strategy that can adapt to the requirements of 5 different art units. The presence of 6 pending office actions across this group of examiners highlights the task of maintaining consistency in claim language and disclosure across the Transportation, E-Commerce and Mechanical Systems portfolio.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (17%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (17%) |
| §103 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (50%) |
