Btr New Material Group Co. Ltd. has 4 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters are assigned to 4 examiners across 3 art units, indicating broad examiner dispersion with some concentration at the art-unit level.
EFYMOW, JESSE JAMES is the busiest examiner with 1 pending matter. A matter-by-matter response plan is appropriate, supported by a common review of material definitions and claim distinctions where the art-unit assignments overlap.
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 |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 1 (25%) |
