Shanghai Baicheng Electric Equipment Manufacture Co. Ltd. currently has 4 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners, which ensures that each case is receiving an independent review from a different official. However, these matters are contained within 3 distinct art units, indicating some technical overlap in the subject matter being examined.
The busiest examiner for the company is LEE, DANIEL H., who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Since the 4 pending actions are split evenly among 4 distinct examiners, no single official has a dominant role in the company's current prosecution. This distribution requires the company to manage four separate examiner relationships while navigating the specific cultures of the 3 distinct art units involved.
For practitioners, the fact that there are more examiners than art units suggests that the company's filings are being handled by multiple people within the same technical groups. This can lead to varied interpretations of similar prior art across the 4 pending office actions. Coordination is essential to ensure that arguments made to LEE, DANIEL H. or the other 3 distinct examiners do not create conflicting records for the company's Chemistry & Materials portfolio.
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.
