Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
3 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 3 patents granted in the last 365 days
Addex Inc. is managing 3 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed among 2 distinct examiners and a pair of distinct art units. This concentration suggests that at least one examiner is handling multiple matters for the company, which may allow for a more consistent dialogue between the applicant and the patent office on related chemical technologies.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is Krasnow, Nicholas R, who is responsible for 2 pending office actions. This examiner manages the majority of the 3 pending office actions currently active for the organization. The use of only two examiners for three cases indicates a tighter prosecution circle than a direct assignment would provide. This structure means that the company's legal strategy is heavily influenced by the perspectives of these specific examiners and the examination trends within their respective art units.
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.
