Bemis Associates Inc. is currently managing 2 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units.
FISCHER, JUSTIN R is the busiest examiner, holding 1 pending office action. Because each of the 2 pending actions is assigned to a different examiner and art unit, the company faces a decentralized prosecution process across multiple divisions of 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.
