Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd. has 21 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are spread across 8 distinct art units, showing a range of technical interests within the automotive sector. The company is working with 20 distinct examiners for these 21 pending matters. Keith Stanley Myers is the busiest examiner, overseeing 2 pending office actions.
The other actions are each handled by a different examiner. This distribution across 8 distinct art units suggests that the company's innovations are categorized into several different technical niches. Because 20 distinct examiners are involved in 21 actions, the company must manage a high ratio of examiners to pending matters. Keith Stanley Myers manages 2 of the active cases. The number of 21 pending office actions is higher than the 8 distinct art units involved.
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.
