Xi’An Eswin Material Technology Co. Ltd. currently manages 2 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners, ensuring that the company receives feedback from different perspectives. This variety in examiners can help the company understand different potential hurdles within the patent office. Each examiner may focus on different aspects of the material science involved.
Both pending office actions are situated within 1 distinct art unit, which provides a level of technical and administrative consistency for the portfolio. BRATLAND JR, KENNETH A is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. Because there are distinct examiners for the pending actions, each examiner is responsible for a single case. The use of a single art unit suggests that the pending applications are technically related despite being reviewed by different people.
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%) |
