2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Shanghai National Engineering Research Center Of Digital Television Co. Ltd. is managing 2 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are located within 1 distinct art unit, which suggests that the company's current patent applications are being evaluated under a unified set of technical standards despite the multiple pending matters.
The portfolio's prosecution is handled by 2 distinct examiners. WILLIAMS, TRACY L is the busiest examiner, currently responsible for 1 pending office action. Given that there are 2 pending office actions in total, the workload is distributed among the 2 distinct examiners assigned to the portfolio.
The concentration of the active workload within 1 distinct art unit allows for a focused prosecution strategy in the Networking & Security sector. Although 2 distinct examiners are involved, the shared art unit context provides a common framework for addressing the 1 pending office action assigned to WILLIAMS, TRACY L and the other pending action in the 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
