Shi Ping Wang maintains 1 pending office action in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This action is overseen by 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. YOO, REGINA M is the busiest examiner, holding 1 pending office action.
The presence of 1 distinct art unit suggests that the company's current patent activity is specialized within a specific technical niche. Because the busiest examiner pending count of 1 matches the total pending office actions of 1, the active portfolio is currently under the review of 1 distinct examiner. This concentration means that the outcome of the company's current prosecution depends on the evaluation of this individual. Practitioners should note that with this limited workload, there is no internal baseline for comparing examiner behavior within this specific portfolio. The alignment of the assigned staff and 1 distinct art unit suggests a direct path for the company's current intellectual property efforts.
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.
