Seohan Innobility Co. Ltd. manages 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 2 actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner has one case. Both actions are located within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that while the technical field is the same, the company is receiving feedback from two different individuals at the patent office.
The busiest examiner is HALL, HANA VICTORIA, with 1 pending office action. Having 2 distinct examiners for 2 pending office actions shows a distributed workload where no single person handles all the company's filings. However, the use of 1 distinct art unit indicates that these 2 pending office actions are likely within the same technical sub-specialty. This combination of 2 distinct examiners and 1 distinct art unit allows the company to compare different examiner approaches to similar technical subject matter across its 2 pending office actions. This strategy can be beneficial for refining the prosecution of related innovations within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area.
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 | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
