Xuzhou Heavy Machinery Co. Ltd. has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are both handled by 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. WILKINSON, RALPH DAVID is the busiest examiner, currently managing 2 pending office actions. The portfolio's 2 pending office actions are located in 1 distinct art unit. Both of these actions are assigned to the same examiner, WILKINSON, RALPH DAVID.
This examiner manages 2 pending office actions, which represents the total volume for the company. Such concentration in 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit suggests that the company's mechanical systems filings are closely related and being reviewed under a single set of criteria. For the practitioner, this provides an opportunity for a unified prosecution strategy. However, it also means that the outcome of all 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area is tied to the decisions of WILKINSON, RALPH DAVID.
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 (67%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
