Zhejiang Sunseeker Industrial Co. Ltd. holds 3 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, which indicates that each pending matter is being reviewed by a different individual. This distribution between actions and examiners suggests that the company's prosecution experience is fragmented across several different perspectives.
The portfolio is active within 2 distinct art units, showing a concentration of subject matter despite the variety of examiners. With 3 pending office actions spread across these 2 distinct art units, the company must navigate the specific procedural nuances of multiple administrative groups. This structure requires a prosecution approach that can adapt to the different standards applied in each unit.
AWORUNSE, OLUWABUSAYO ADEBANJO is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently managing 1 pending office action. Because this examiner only handles 1 of the 3 pending actions, no single official has a dominant influence over the company's current patent applications. The presence of the 3 distinct examiners across the 2 distinct art units defines a prosecution environment where individual examiner discretion is a key factor.
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 |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 1 (33%) |
