1 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 1 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Ningbo Smr Huaxiang Automotive Mirrors Ltd. currently manages 1 pending office action within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This single matter is being processed by 1 distinct examiner within 1 distinct art unit. The concentration of the entire pending portfolio into a single administrative and technical channel indicates a focused prosecution footprint at this time.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is BOURQUINE, MACKENZI TATE, who is currently handling 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Because there is only 1 pending office action in total, this examiner's individual review represents the entirety of the company's current workload at the patent office. The examiner's specific interpretation of the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field will be the determining factor for this application.
For practitioners, the fact that the portfolio is limited to 1 distinct art unit and 1 distinct examiner simplifies the management of the pending matter. There are no competing examiner styles or conflicting art unit standards to reconcile. The strategy for this portfolio is entirely dependent on the interaction with BOURQUINE, MACKENZI TATE within that single technical division.
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.
