Nanjing Institute Of Environmental Sciences Mee manages a company patent portfolio in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The portfolio currently has 2 pending office actions, which are being reviewed by 2 distinct examiners. While the examiners differ, the actions are being processed within 1 distinct art unit, suggesting a shared technical classification for the pending inventions.
The busiest examiner for the institute is MENDOZA, WILSON GALLARDO, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Since there are 2 pending office actions in total, the workload is divided between the assigned officials. This arrangement means that while the technical focus remains within the specified art unit, the prosecution strategy must account for the individual preferences of different examiners.
The use of a distinct art unit indicates technical consistency in the company's current filings. However, the involvement of distinct examiners introduces variety into the examination process. Practitioners should monitor how the art unit's policies are interpreted by MENDOZA, WILSON GALLARDO and other officials to ensure a cohesive prosecution strategy across the active matters.
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.
