JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. has a compact prosecution profile with 3 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. Each of these actions is assigned to a different examiner, totaling 3 distinct examiners for the portfolio. Furthermore, these matters are spread across 3 distinct art units, showing no overlap in the administrative units handling the company's current applications.
BUCK, LINDSEY A is listed as the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action, which is the maximum for any single examiner in this set. With only 3 pending office actions total, the portfolio is currently in a low-volume phase of prosecution. Practitioners can focus on the specific requirements of these 3 distinct art units, as the lack of examiner overlap means each case will likely proceed on its own merits without influence from the others. This decentralized structure requires practitioners to be highly adaptable to the specific feedback of 3 different examiners. Since there is no concentration in a single art unit, the company must navigate the nuances of 3 distinct art units simultaneously. Every pending office action represents a significant portion of the company's active portfolio, making each interaction with the 3 distinct examiners highly consequential for the firm's overall intellectual property position in the Chemistry & Materials sector.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
