Nio Technology (Anhui) Co. Ltd. has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners and distinct art units. David V Henze is the busiest examiner for the company, managing 1 of the pending office actions. The current prosecution for Nio Technology (Anhui) Co. Ltd. is split between these distinct examiners.
Having 2 pending office actions assigned to distinct examiners means that the company's prosecution is not centralized. The involvement of 2 distinct art units suggests that the applications cover different technical aspects of the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field. David V Henze is responsible for 1 of the pending office actions, which is half of the current pending workload. This distribution across distinct examiners and art units provides the company with a broader range of examiner feedback and reduces the impact of any single examiner's decisions.
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.
