5 pending office actions • 1 art units • 5 examiners • 0 of 5 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 20 patents granted in the last 365 days
Zhejiang Jinko Solar Co., Ltd. has 5 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 5 actions are handled by 5 distinct examiners, indicating that each examiner is currently reviewing 1 application. Despite the multiple examiners, all filings are concentrated within 1 distinct art unit. This focus on 1 distinct art unit suggests a specific technical niche within the Chemistry & Materials field.
DINH, BACH T is the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 pending action. Having 5 pending office actions across 5 distinct examiners within a single art unit may lead to varied interpretations of the same group's standards. Practitioners should monitor how these 5 distinct examiners apply the rules of their shared 1 distinct art unit to the company's 5 pending office actions. The 1 pending action per examiner distribution means no single individual has a dominant influence over the portfolio. This structure requires managing 5 separate relationships within 1 distinct art unit.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (40%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (60%) |
