8 pending office actions • 6 art units • 8 examiners • 0 of 8 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 14 patents granted in the last 365 days
Mashang Consumer Finance Co. Ltd. has 8 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are handled by 8 distinct examiners, resulting in a distribution where each of the 8 pending office actions is being reviewed by a different person. This indicates that the company's prosecution is not concentrated with any single official, ensuring a variety of perspectives on the portfolio.
The portfolio spans 6 distinct art units, which suggests that the company's computing and software innovations are categorized into several different technical areas. The busiest examiner, HU, JENSEN, is currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending action. This is consistent with the overall spread of the 8 pending office actions across the 8 distinct examiners, showing no specific point of concentration at the patent office.
For practitioners, managing 8 pending office actions across 6 distinct art units requires a tailored approach for each application. Since there are 8 distinct examiners, there is no opportunity to leverage a single relationship for multiple matters. This decentralized structure means that the portfolio's progress will be determined by the independent decisions of 8 different examiners across the 6 distinct art units involved.
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 (12%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (62%) |
| §103 only | 1 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (12%) |
