Chung Yuan Christian University currently has 3 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, which means that each pending matter is being reviewed by a different individual. This level of examiner diversity requires a flexible prosecution strategy that can adapt to the unique requirements and technical interpretations of 3 different people.
The company's active matters are spread across 3 distinct art units. This distribution within the Chemistry & Materials sector suggests that the university's research and development efforts are being categorized into several different technical specialties. For a practitioner, this means that the prosecution strategy must account for the specific technical expertise and procedural norms of 3 different administrative divisions at the patent office.
HODGE, LAURA NICOLE is identified as the busiest examiner for the university, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. While HODGE, LAURA NICOLE is the busiest, they only manage 1 of the 3 total pending actions. This indicates that the portfolio's progress is not concentrated under any single individual. Practitioners should focus on the specific examiner histories for all matters to ensure that each of the 3 pending office actions is handled with an understanding of the assigned examiner's preferences.
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%) |
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
