2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Aerocore Technologies LLC maintains a company patent portfolio in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The portfolio currently features 2 pending office actions, which are distributed among 2 distinct examiners. This arrangement ensures that each of the 2 pending office actions is under the review of a different official. Both examiners are assigned to 1 distinct art unit, indicating that the company's chemical or material science filings are concentrated within a single technical group.
ZHANG, RICHARD Z is identified as the busiest examiner, holding 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Since there are 2 distinct examiners for the 2 pending office actions, ZHANG, RICHARD Z is responsible for a portion of the active matters. The concentration of the 2 pending office actions in 1 distinct art unit suggests that the applications likely share similar technical subject matter. Practitioners should address the specific concerns of the 2 distinct examiners while navigating the common standards of the 1 art unit to move the Aerocore Technologies LLC portfolio toward allowance. This structure helps maintain a unified strategy for the 2 pending office actions.
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.
