Shenzhen Institutes Of Advanced Technology Chinese Academy Of Sciences is managing 7 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are spread across 7 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units. This indicates that while the examiners are unique for each action, the technical subject matter is concentrated within specific groups.
ABBOTT-LEWIS, YVONNE RENEE is the busiest examiner, with 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This represents 1 of the 7 pending office actions. The distribution across 4 distinct art units for 7 actions indicates a level of technical diversity in the pending portfolio. The use of 7 distinct examiners for 7 actions highlights a lack of examiner-level concentration, which may lead to diverse outcomes across the portfolio. This requires a strategy that accounts for different examination cultures across the 4 distinct art units involved.
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 (14%) |
| §112 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (71%) |
