3 pending office actions • 2 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Mems Drive (Nanjing) Co. Ltd. currently has 3 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. These 3 actions are handled by 3 distinct examiners, which indicates that each pending application is being reviewed by a unique individual. The portfolio is distributed across 2 distinct art units, reflecting a variety of technical focuses within the communications sector.
The busiest examiner for the company is HENN, TIMOTHY J, who is currently managing 1 pending office action. Because there are 3 pending office actions and 3 distinct examiners, every examiner, including HENN, TIMOTHY J, is responsible for 1 action. This even distribution means that no single examiner has a concentrated role in the company's current prosecution. Practitioners must be prepared to engage with 3 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units. The prosecution strategy for Mems Drive (Nanjing) Co. Ltd. involves managing 3 separate examiner interactions while addressing the requirements of multiple technical divisions.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
