Shenzhen Weilai Nail Art Co. Ltd. operates a patent portfolio in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. There are 2 pending office actions currently active. These 2 pending office actions are distributed among 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, indicating a split in the prosecution of its current applications. This suggests that the company's filings cover diverse technical aspects that fall under different examination categories within the 2 distinct art units.
LAU, JASON is the busiest examiner for the company, handling 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Since there are 2 pending office actions in total, the workload is shared with another examiner. This distribution shows that the company's current patent activity is not centralized under a single individual. Practitioners must therefore develop separate strategies for each of the 2 distinct examiners to address the specific concerns raised in the 2 pending office actions across the different art units involved.
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.
