Zhejiang Lera New Energy Power Technology Co. Ltd. has 2 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 2 pending office actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners. This distribution results in an even workload where each examiner manages one matter, indicating that the current prosecution is not concentrated under a single individual.
The workload is focused within 1 distinct art unit. This count of 1 distinct art unit is lower than the 2 distinct examiners, suggesting a specific technical scope for the pending matters. DIAZ, MIGUEL ANGEL is the busiest examiner for the company, with a busiest examiner pending count of 1. This busiest examiner pending count of 1 matches the count for the other examiner involved.
Practitioners should note that the 2 pending office actions are being reviewed within 1 distinct art unit, which simplifies the departmental landscape. However, the involvement of 2 distinct examiners means two different individual perspectives are being applied to the portfolio. The busiest examiner pending count of 1 confirms that no single examiner has a dominant role in the current workload.
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 |
|---|---|
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (100%) |
