Shenzhen Relx Technology Co. Ltd. has 4 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters involve 4 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, showing examiner-level dispersion across a smaller set of technical groups.
MULLEN, MICHAEL PATRICK is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The profile does not identify a concentrated examiner workload, so responses should be managed by individual matter and art-unit context.
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 | 1 (25%) |
| §102 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
