Shenzhen Maining Innovation Technology Co. Ltd. manages a company patent portfolio in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The portfolio currently has 1 pending office action. This single action is handled by 1 distinct examiner, MCCULLOUGH, ERIC J., who is also the busiest examiner for the portfolio. This concentration of work indicates a focused prosecution effort at this stage of the company's patent development.
Prosecution activity is limited to 1 distinct art unit. MCCULLOUGH, ERIC J. is responsible for the 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This data suggests a narrow scope of active examination for the company at the present time. The presence of only 1 pending office action across 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit reflects a specific point of contact within the USPTO for the company's current innovations. This focus allows for a direct interaction between the company and MCCULLOUGH, ERIC J.
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.
