Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
4 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Shenzhen Shijiebao Trading Co. Ltd. currently has 4 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. All of these actions are assigned to a single distinct examiner, FREHE, WILLIAM R. This makes FREHE, WILLIAM R the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 4 pending actions under review.
The prosecution is entirely concentrated within 1 distinct art unit. This level of concentration is notable, as the pending office actions are being handled by the same individual in the same technical division. The presence of 1 distinct examiner for the 4 pending office actions indicates a lack of examiner variety for the company's current applications.
Practitioners should consider that the company's success in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering area is currently tied to the decisions of this individual. With the pending office actions and the 1 distinct art unit involved, there are no alternative technical perspectives being applied to the portfolio. This centralized prosecution environment means that the examiner's specific interpretations will consistently apply across the pending matters.
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.
