BONDTECH CO., LTD. currently manages 3 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 3 actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, so each pending matter is being handled by a different individual. However, these cases are concentrated within 2 distinct art units. This suggests that while the examiners are different, at least 2 of the pending actions fall within the same technical classification or examination group at the patent office.
The busiest examiner for this company is RIRIE, EVERETT TRAJAN, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. With 3 pending actions and 3 distinct examiners, each examiner is currently managing 1 pending action for the company. This distribution requires the applicant to navigate 3 different examination styles. The fact that 3 pending actions are being reviewed in 2 distinct art units indicates some technical overlap in the Chemistry & Materials portfolio, even though the examiners assigned to the cases are distinct.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
