Shenzhen Creality 3D Technology Co. Ltd. manages 2 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, with KHARE, ATUL P serving as the busiest examiner with 1 pending action.
Because the 2 pending office actions are handled by different examiners in different art units, the company faces a diverse prosecution landscape. This requires managing separate sets of examiner expectations and administrative standards, even though both matters fall within the same broad technology area.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
