LANGEL, WAYNE A is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 busiest examiner pending action. This individual manages the entirety of the company's active docket in the Chemistry & Materials sector. Because the portfolio is limited to 1 distinct examiner, the company's immediate prosecution success depends on the resolution of this 1 matter.
