3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Zhejiang Weixing Industrial Development Co. Ltd. has 2 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The actions involve 2 distinct examiners and 1 distinct art unit, so the matters share an art-unit setting while remaining divided between examiner assignments.
BROOKS, KARA JEAN is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The examiner distribution is even across the 2 actions, but the common art unit may support coordination of technical framing and prior-art analysis. Counsel should still preserve separate examiner histories when preparing amendments or deciding whether an argument is likely to address the specific pending record.
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 | 2 (67%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
