Axiom Foods Inc. currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, indicating that the company's current applications involve different technical sub-specialties. This distribution requires the practitioner to navigate two separate examination paths within the patent office. The busiest examiner is KERSHAW, KELLY P, who is handling 1 busiest examiner pending action.
Because the 2 pending office actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, the portfolio's current workload is distributed equally among the assigned personnel. This arrangement means that each application will be subject to the unique examination style of a different individual. Practitioners should be prepared to address the specific technical concerns of 2 distinct art units, as this variety suggests that the applications cover diverse aspects of the Chemistry & Materials field. Managing the current docket requires a tailored approach for each pending matter to ensure effective communication with the patent office.
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.
