Xiamen Ubest Electronic Technology Co. Ltd. maintains 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and distinct art units. The distribution across the art units shows that each filing is being evaluated by a different technical group. NIA, ALIREZA is the busiest examiner with 1 busiest examiner pending action.
This means the workload is perfectly distributed, with the distinct examiners each handling a pending office action. For a portfolio of this size, the lack of overlap between examiners or art units suggests diverse technical subject matter within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector. Practitioners must prepare for separate prosecution tracks, as no single examiner or art unit provides a central point of influence for the current actions. Because the distinct examiners are located in separate art units, the prosecution of each of the 2 pending office actions will likely proceed without reference to the other.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
