Inner Mongolia Dairy Tech Res Institute Co. Ltd. has 2 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters involve 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, so each file follows its own examination path.
RODGERS, ARIEL M is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The profile supports separate claim and prior-art analysis for each matter rather than a strategy centered on one examiner.
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.

|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
