Yangtze Delta Region Institute (Huzhou) University Of Electronic Science And Technology Of China currently has 2 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed among 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This indicates that the institute's current patent applications are being reviewed in different departmental contexts within the patent office.
HADDAD, MAJD MAHER is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because there are 2 pending office actions in total, the workload involves the 2 distinct examiners. Each examiner works within their respective art unit among the 2 distinct art units identified.
The alignment of the pending office actions with 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units suggests a lack of concentration in the prosecution process. Each pending matter is being handled by a different individual in a different unit, requiring the institute to navigate separate sets of examiner behaviors. This structure reflects a diversified approach to the Chemistry & Materials sector where no single examiner or unit dominates the current docket.
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 + other | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
