4 pending office actions • 3 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Yantai Zhenghai Magnetic Material Co. Ltd. operates in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The company currently has 3 pending office actions, which are being handled by 3 distinct examiners. This ratio of 3 actions to 3 examiners suggests a diverse review process where each matter receives independent oversight.
The portfolio's prosecution is spread across 2 distinct art units. SIDDIQUI, ADIL ABDUL WAJID is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action currently assigned. This indicates that the 3 pending actions are split among the distinct examiners involved. Having 3 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units provides a varied administrative environment for the company's intellectual property.
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 |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 2 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
