Am Polymers GmbH currently manages 1 pending office action within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This workload is assigned to 1 distinct examiner working within 1 distinct art unit. The concentrated nature of this portfolio suggests a specific technical focus for the current prosecution efforts. By operating within the identified art unit, the company maintains a narrow procedural footprint at the patent office. This structure allows the legal team to focus their resources on the requirements of a specific technical group.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is THROWER, LARRY W, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because the total number of pending office actions is 1, this examiner handles the workload. The relationship between the busiest examiner's load and the total pending actions indicates no distribution of work across multiple personnel. For the practitioner, this means that the outcome of the current patent applications relies on the review and feedback provided by THROWER, LARRY W. Understanding the specific preferences of this individual is the primary factor in the current prosecution strategy.
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.
