Wuxi Boyu Plastic Machinery Co. Ltd. currently manages 1 pending office action in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This workload is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, representing a highly centralized prosecution footprint. The involvement of only 1 examiner suggests that the company's current patent office activity is focused on a specific innovation within the chemical or materials science field.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is LEYSON, JOSEPH S, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because the total number of pending office actions is 1, this examiner handles the company's entire active workload. This 1 to 1 ratio between the busiest examiner's load and the total pending actions indicates that the company's immediate prosecution progress in the Chemistry & Materials sector is tied to the feedback of LEYSON, JOSEPH S.
Practitioners should note that having 1 distinct art unit and 1 distinct examiner for the 1 pending office action allows for a very targeted response strategy. There is no need to coordinate across different examiners or units, as all current prosecution activity is contained within this single case. This streamlined profile simplifies the administrative requirements and provides a clear path for the applicant to address the outstanding office action.
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.
