2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Airo Brands Inc. maintains a patent portfolio centered on the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The portfolio currently has 3 pending office actions, which are distributed among 3 distinct examiners. This distribution suggests a diverse set of perspectives within the USPTO regarding the company's applications, as the number of pending actions matches the number of examiners involved.
Despite the distribution across examiners, the portfolio is technically concentrated within 2 distinct art units. KESSIE, JENNIFER A is identified as the busiest examiner, currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Because the busiest examiner pending count is 1, the workload is distributed across the various distinct examiners involved in the Chemistry & Materials space.
This structure indicates that while the technical focus remains within a limited number of 2 art units, the individual examiner assignments are varied. For the 3 pending office actions, practitioners must navigate the specific preferences of the 3 distinct examiners. The distribution of 1 action per examiner, including KESSIE, JENNIFER A, suggests that no single examiner's historical allowance rate will disproportionately impact the overall portfolio status.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
| Bucket | Cases |

| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (100%) |
