Alpha Graphene Inc. has 1 pending office action in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This matter is being reviewed by 1 distinct examiner within 1 distinct art unit. The busiest examiner, TOLIN, MICHAEL A, is responsible for 1 pending office action.
As the only examiner currently assigned to the company's pending actions, TOLIN, MICHAEL A represents the primary point of contact for the USPTO. The 1 distinct art unit involved suggests a narrow technical focus for the current prosecution. Because there is only 1 pending office action, the company's immediate patent goals are tied to this single proceeding.
The concentration of the 1 pending office action with 1 distinct examiner in 1 distinct art unit means that the prosecution strategy can be highly specialized for that specific examiner's history. Practitioners should prepare for a focused dialogue within the Chemistry & Materials field, as the busiest examiner pending count is 1, leaving no other active matters to balance the prosecution risk.
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.
