Shenzhen Cheerble Technology Co. Ltd. currently has 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This action is being handled by 1 distinct examiner, Brook Victoria Schmid, who is the busiest examiner for the portfolio with 1 pending action. The prosecution activity is limited to 1 distinct art unit, representing a highly focused current workload at the USPTO.
The presence of Brook Victoria Schmid as the only examiner indicates that the company's current patent activity is concentrated. Practitioners should note that with only 1 pending office action, there is no internal data to compare examiner performance or art unit trends within this portfolio. This focus means that the outcome of this specific matter will define the company's current success rate in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector. The ratio of pending office actions to distinct examiners stands at 1 to 1. Because the workload is limited to 1 distinct art unit, the company's strategy is tied to the specific examination practices of that unit.
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.
