Abstrax Tech Inc. has 3 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters involve 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. O'HERN, BRENT T is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter, so each reported case follows a separate examination path.
Counsel should manage the matters independently while maintaining a coherent explanation of the relevant chemical or materials technology. Since no examiner or art unit is repeated, portfolio coordination is primarily thematic and administrative. A shared technical vocabulary can reduce inconsistency, but claim amendments and prior-art responses should be tailored to each application’s 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
