BAUER HOCKEY LLC is currently navigating 9 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed among 9 distinct examiners, showing a high level of individual scrutiny for the company's filings. With 7 distinct art units involved, the portfolio covers a range of technical sub-sectors, necessitating a multifaceted approach to prosecution that accounts for the different standards across these 7 units.
HADEN, SALLY CLINE is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. This lack of concentration means that no single examiner holds significant influence over the portfolio's overall trajectory. Managing 9 pending office actions across 7 distinct art units requires a robust tracking system to maintain consistency in arguments and disclosures. The diversity of 9 distinct examiners means the company must be prepared for a variety of examination styles within the Chemistry & Materials field. This broad distribution across 7 distinct art units suggests a diverse technical portfolio that touches many specialized areas of chemistry.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 4 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 6 (67%) |
