Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
7 pending office actions • 4 art units • 7 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 21 patents granted in the last 365 days
Shenzhen Verdewell Technology Limited has 7 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters involve 7 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, indicating that examiner assignments are broadly distributed across a smaller set of technical examination settings. The action and examiner figures match, so each identified action is associated with a different examiner, while some art units contain multiple matters.
NGUYEN, SONNY V is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The active prosecution is therefore distributed rather than concentrated with this examiner. Counsel should coordinate recurring chemical and materials positions at the art-unit level while maintaining separate response plans for each examiner and application.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 | 1 (14%) |
| §102 only | 2 (29%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (57%) |
