Sichuan Huiwei Rongda Technology Co. Ltd. currently has 1 pending office action. This action is being handled by 1 distinct examiner. The data indicates 0 distinct art units, which may suggest a specific stage in the filing or classification process. This lack of art unit data suggests that the application may be in a transitional phase at the patent office.
The busiest examiner, MCGUTHRY BANKS, TIMA MICHELE, is responsible for the pending office action. Since this is the only active case, the prosecution is entirely centralized under this official. Practitioners should focus on the specific feedback from this examiner to move the application forward without the need to coordinate across multiple departments.
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.
