Shenzhen Woody Vapes Technology Co. Ltd. is managing 4 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct art units, indicating that the portfolio covers a variety of technical sub-specialties within the broader chemistry field. The involvement of distinct examiners means that each pending action is being reviewed by a different individual, requiring a tailored approach for every response.
ANSARI, TAHMINA N is identified as the busiest examiner, though she is currently responsible for only 1 pending action. Since there are 4 pending office actions in total, the workload is spread across the portfolio, requiring the company to manage separate examiner relationships across the 3 distinct art units. The distribution of pending office actions across different art units indicates that while the technology is centered in Chemistry & Materials, it touches on several different regulatory or technical classifications.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
