Cerdia International GmbH is managing 4 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 4 actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners, meaning each pending matter is being evaluated by a different individual. STEELE, JENNIFER A is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, holding 1 pending office action.
The company's pending matters are located within 3 distinct art units. This indicates that while the examiners are all different, there is some administrative overlap at the art unit level. With 4 pending office actions and 4 distinct examiners, the company must respond to 4 different sets of examiner expectations and styles, which requires a decentralized prosecution strategy.
The prosecution landscape for these 4 pending office actions shows technical diversity within the Chemistry & Materials field, as evidenced by the 3 distinct art units. The busiest examiner, STEELE, JENNIFER A, is responsible for 1 pending office action, which is consistent with the even distribution across the 4 distinct examiners. This spread requires the company to maintain a broad strategy across multiple patent office divisions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
