Armor is currently managing 2 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are split across 2 distinct art units, which indicates that the company's current filings cover different technical sub-sectors within the chemical field. The prosecution involves 2 distinct examiners, meaning each pending action is being reviewed by a different individual at the patent office. This distribution suggests that the company is pursuing multiple distinct chemical innovations simultaneously.
GOLIGHTLY, ERIC WAYNE is identified as the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending office action under their review. Since there are 2 distinct examiners for 2 pending actions, the workload is evenly distributed with each examiner handling one case. For a practitioner, this requires managing two separate prosecution tracks, each tailored to the specific requirements of a different examiner and art unit. The data shows a balanced interaction with the patent office across these 2 pending matters. Having 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units means the company must address two different sets of technical standards and examiner preferences.
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.
