Charm Sciences Inc. has 4 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters are distributed among 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This combination indicates that at least one examination channel includes more than one pending matter, while the broader docket remains within a limited number of technical units.
EOM, ROBERT J is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The assignment makes EOM a useful focal point for reviewing recurring claim construction, written-description, or prior-art issues, subject to the contents of the individual actions. The separate examiner assignments call for matter-level tracking rather than a single uniform response strategy.
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 |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (75%) |
