Shenzhen Oceanwing Smart Innovations Technology Co. Ltd. has 7 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These actions are distributed among 7 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units. This indicates that each of the 7 pending office actions is being handled by a different individual at the patent office.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is OLYNICK, DAVID, who is currently managing 1 pending action. Although there are 7 distinct examiners involved, they are grouped within 5 distinct art units, suggesting some technical overlap in the subject matter. Practitioners must manage 7 different examiner relationships while navigating the procedural standards of the 5 distinct art units to resolve the 7 pending office actions. The lack of concentration among the 7 distinct examiners means that no single person has a dominant influence over the portfolio. However, the 5 distinct art units provide a relatively stable technical framework for the prosecution of these 7 pending office actions, allowing for some consistency in the legal arguments used across the different cases.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 3 (43%) |
| §102 only | 2 (29%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (29%) |
