TCL Zhonghuan Renewable Energy Technology Co. Ltd. has 10 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. Those matters are assigned to 9 examiners across 4 art units, creating a broad prosecution footprint.
QI, HUA is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The distribution suggests that most matters are handled outside that examiner’s docket, so portfolio management should track examiner-specific issues and art unit practices.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 6 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (10%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (10%) |
| §103 only | 4 (40%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (40%) |
