Carbiolice maintains a patent portfolio in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The company currently faces 2 pending office actions. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, yet they both fall within 1 distinct art unit. This suggests that while the company is pursuing multiple patent applications, they are closely related enough to be handled by the same administrative division. Practitioners can benefit from this concentration by identifying consistent patterns in how this 1 distinct art unit handles Chemistry & Materials applications.
The busiest examiner for Carbiolice is WASHVILLE, JEFFREY D, who is currently managing 1 pending office action. Since there are 2 pending office actions and 2 distinct examiners, the workload is divided within the single art unit involved. This distribution requires the company to tailor its responses to the individual preferences of 2 distinct examiners while operating under the unified guidelines of 1 distinct art unit. The presence of 2 pending office actions indicates an active phase of prosecution for the company's materials-based innovations.
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.
