Ningbo ABAX Sensing Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. is managing 4 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed across 4 distinct examiners, resulting in a ratio of 4 examiners to 4 pending cases. The portfolio spans 3 distinct art units, which indicates a moderate level of technical diversity within the mechanical systems sector. This distribution requires the company to adapt its prosecution strategy to the specific requirements of multiple USPTO divisions.
Hovhannes Baghdasaryan is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently responsible for 1 pending office action. With 4 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units involved, the company must navigate a variety of individual examiner preferences and art unit policies. The presence of 3 distinct art units for 4 pending office actions suggests that some cases may share a common art unit baseline, while others are more technically isolated. This landscape requires a versatile approach to address the unique feedback from 4 different examiners across the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field.
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 | 2 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
