Shenzhen Anxin Precision Components Co. Ltd. has 1 pending office action in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This action is handled by 1 distinct examiner, MULLEN, MICHAEL PATRICK, who is the busiest examiner for the company with 1 pending office action. The prosecution is restricted to 1 distinct art unit.
The company's current patent activity is highly focused, as evidenced by the single pending office action. With only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit involved, the prosecution path is straightforward. MULLEN, MICHAEL PATRICK is the only examiner currently reviewing the company's pending work, representing the entirety of the active portfolio.
The concentration of the workload under a single examiner suggests a streamlined prosecution process. Because there is only 1 busiest examiner pending action, the technical focus of the examination remains narrow. Practitioners working with MULLEN, MICHAEL PATRICK will find that this individual manages the entirety of the company's currently pending work. This structure allows for a very specific legal strategy tailored to the preferences of a single examiner.
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.
