Qingdao Shichuanzhoupanshi Furniture Co. Ltd. has 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This application is being processed within 1 distinct art unit by 1 distinct examiner. The busiest examiner, COZART, JERMIE E, is currently managing the 1 pending office action. This concentration within 1 distinct art unit and under 1 distinct examiner means the prosecution of this mechanical engineering matter is dependent on a single point of review.
The company's strategy in this technology area is currently focused on this individual examiner's assessment of the current office action. Because there is only 1 pending office action, the company's current patent office activity is localized to 1 distinct examiner. This lack of examiner and art unit diversity means that the company does not have to manage multiple examination styles simultaneously. However, it also means that the success of the current portfolio in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering area rests solely on the outcome of this single matter.
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.
