3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 8 patents granted in the last 365 days
Zhejiang Hengyi Petrochemical Co. Ltd. has 3 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are assigned to 3 distinct examiners, resulting in a unique examiner for every active case. All of these matters are being prosecuted within 1 distinct art unit, pointing to a concentrated technical focus for the company's current patent applications.
SAFAIPOUR, BOBBAK is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Since all 3 distinct examiners are located in the same 1 distinct art unit, the company can expect a relatively uniform application of examination standards and procedures. The legal team only needs to monitor the trends and preferences of a single art unit while managing the 3 pending office actions. This focused approach in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area simplifies the administrative burden compared to portfolios spread across multiple art units.
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.
