Cambria Company LLC is managing 2 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are split between distinct examiners, with each examiner handling one case. Prosecution is distributed across 2 distinct art units, indicating technical variety even within this small portfolio. WEYDEMEYER, ETHAN is the busiest examiner, currently holding 1 pending action.
With the 2 pending office actions and the distinct examiners, the practitioner must navigate different examination styles. The involvement of the distinct art units suggests that the Chemistry & Materials applications are being reviewed in different specialized groups. WEYDEMEYER, ETHAN is responsible for 1 pending action, making his feedback as significant as the other examiner in the portfolio. The pending office actions represent the current active prosecution for Cambria Company LLC. Because there are 2 distinct art units, the practitioner cannot assume that a strategy used in one case will directly apply to the other. This diversity in both examiners and art units for the pending actions requires a broad tactical approach. Practitioners should monitor the distinct examiners for unique requirements in the Chemistry & Materials field.
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.
