Sndway Technology (Guangdong) Co. Ltd. currently has 3 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions involve 3 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units. COURSON, TANIA C is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action.
The presence of 3 pending office actions and 3 distinct examiners indicates that each active matter is being reviewed by a different person. However, the use of only 2 distinct art units suggests that at least two of these examiners are working within the same technical division. Since the busiest examiner pending count is 1, the workload is evenly distributed among the examiners involved in the company's current prosecution.
Practitioners should note that the distribution across 3 distinct examiners provides multiple points of contact within the patent office. While the matters are spread across 2 distinct art units, the even workload distribution means no single examiner's tendencies dominate the portfolio. This structure allows the company to test different technical arguments across the 3 pending office actions, potentially identifying which approaches are most effective within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector.
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 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
