Zhejiang Jinko Solar Co., Ltd. has 7 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters involve 6 examiners across 3 art units, indicating dispersed examiner handling within a concentrated technical structure.
AYAD, TAMIR is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. Those matters support focused examiner review, while the limited number of art units creates an opportunity to coordinate analysis of recurring examination issues.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (29%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (71%) |
