Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. currently manages 6 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed among 6 distinct examiners, meaning every pending matter has a different reviewer. The portfolio spans 4 distinct art units.
JAMES A REAGAN is the busiest examiner, though he only handles 1 pending office action. This reflects a perfectly balanced workload where each of the 6 distinct examiners is responsible for exactly one action. The use of 4 distinct art units indicates that the portfolio is technically diverse within the Chemistry & Materials field. Practitioners face a decentralized prosecution environment with 6 different examiners to engage.
While the 4 distinct art units provide some structure, the lack of examiner overlap means that strategies must be tailored to 6 individual sets of preferences. The fact that JAMES A REAGAN handles only 1 pending office action underscores the breadth of the company's current examination landscape. This distribution requires a high degree of coordination to ensure consistent technical messaging across 4 art units and 6 examiners.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 (29%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (71%) |
