Shenzhen Pudu Technology Co. Ltd. is currently dealing with 4 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners. The portfolio also spans 3 distinct art units, indicating that the company's mechanical and transportation innovations are being reviewed across several different technical groups. This spread of 4 pending office actions across 4 distinct examiners ensures that no single individual is responsible for a majority of the company's current legal challenges.
THOMAS, SOUMYA is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 busiest examiner pending office action. With 4 pending office actions and 4 distinct examiners, the workload is perfectly distributed, with each examiner handling 1 action. The involvement of 3 distinct art units suggests that while the technology area is broad, there is some overlap in the technical classifications of the pending matters. This structure requires the applicant to manage relationships with multiple examiners while navigating the specific requirements of 3 distinct art units. The fact that the busiest examiner only has 1 busiest examiner pending office action indicates a lack of concentration in the current prosecution phase.
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.
