Cnpem - Centro Nacional De Pesquisa Em Energia E Materiais currently faces 3 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, indicating that the pending matters are being reviewed by different individuals. The workload is further spread across 3 distinct art units, reflecting the technical distribution within the Chemistry & Materials sector. This variety shows that the company's research involves multiple specialized divisions within the patent office.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is SUN, CAITLYN MINGYUN, who is currently handling 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Given that there are 3 pending office actions in total, SUN, CAITLYN MINGYUN is responsible for a part of the active workload. This distribution across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units suggests that the company must coordinate its prosecution strategy across different examination groups. Addressing the 3 pending office actions will involve approaches for each assigned official. The presence of 3 distinct art units requires the applicant to monitor several technical divisions.
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.
