Ningbo Tuotuo River Design Company has 3 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters are spread across 3 examiners and 3 art units, indicating separate examination paths.
FERGUSON, MICHAEL P is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Since the busiest assignment is limited to that figure, prosecution attention should be allocated across the full set of matters rather than concentrated on one examiner.
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.
