Angel Yeast Co. Ltd. is currently managing 5 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are spread across 5 distinct examiners, which suggests a broad distribution of the company's active patent applications. The involvement of 3 distinct art units further indicates that the portfolio's current prosecution efforts are diversified across multiple technical groups within this sector.
The busiest examiner for the company is ZINGARELLI, SANDRA, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because there are 5 pending office actions and 5 distinct examiners, the workload is distributed individually. This distribution, combined with the 3 distinct art units, suggests a decentralized prosecution environment. Practitioners must coordinate across various examiners and 3 distinct art units, requiring a versatile strategy to maintain consistency across the different technical divisions involved in the company's patenting activities.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (20%) |
| §103 only | 2 (40%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (40%) |
