Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Shanghai Lunkuo Technology Co. Ltd. has 1 pending office action in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The portfolio involves 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that the company's current patent activity is focused on a single technical matter within a specific department of the USPTO.
MD ABUL K AZAD is the busiest examiner, managing 1 pending office action. This examiner handles the total volume of pending actions for the company. For a practitioner, this means that the success of the current patent strategy in the Chemistry & Materials field depends on the specific examination style of MD ABUL K AZAD and the guidelines of the art unit.
Because there is 1 pending office action, there is no distribution of work across different examiners. The company's immediate patent goals are centralized within this one proceeding. This focused approach means that the practitioner can devote all resources to addressing the specific requirements of the 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit involved in the case.
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 (50%) |
