Agsmart Inc. is currently navigating the patent prosecution process within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The company has 1 pending office action that requires a response. This matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, identified as KOLTONOW, ANDREW ROBERT, who is responsible for the technical review of the application.
The prosecution is situated within 1 distinct art unit at the USPTO. KOLTONOW, ANDREW ROBERT is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, managing 1 busiest examiner pending action. This indicates that the entirety of the company's current pending workload is concentrated under 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit.
For a practitioner, the presence of 1 pending office action and 1 distinct examiner allows for a focused strategy. The involvement of only 1 distinct art unit means the legal team can tailor their arguments to the specific standards of that group. Since the busiest examiner pending count is 1, there are no other pending matters to coordinate within this portfolio at this time.
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.
