3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 2 patents granted in the last 365 days
Chryso maintains 3 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed among 2 distinct examiners. Despite the involvement of multiple examiners, all active prosecution is centralized within 1 distinct art unit. This centralization implies that while different individuals are reviewing the applications, they are likely operating under the same supervisory and policy environment of that specific unit. This structure can lead to more predictable prosecution outcomes across the portfolio.
WEISS, PAMELA HL is the busiest examiner for the company, handling 2 pending office actions. The remaining 1 pending action is assigned to the other distinct examiner in the portfolio. This distribution shows that a majority of the company's current workload is concentrated with a single examiner. Practitioners should note that the busiest examiner's perspective will significantly influence the overall trajectory of the company's pending applications within the Chemistry & Materials field.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
