Air Liquide Large Industries U.S. LP has 3 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters are distributed among 3 examiners and 3 art units, indicating separate examination channels rather than a single concentrated assignment.
PETTITT, JOHN F is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should therefore track each action independently and avoid relying on one examiner interaction as a portfolio-wide guide.
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.
