Huizhou TCL Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. has 8 pending office actions in Communications. The portfolio involves 8 distinct examiners and 7 distinct art units, showing that every pending matter has a different examiner while one technical unit contains more than one matter.
YANG, NAN-YING is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The prosecution workload is therefore broadly distributed, making centralized monitoring and consistent treatment of communications technology important across the separate examination assignments.
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 + other | 1 (14%) |
| §103 only | 3 (43%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (43%) |
