1 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 1 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Coaterfx LLC operates in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The company currently has 1 pending office action, which is being handled by 1 distinct examiner and is located within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates a singular focus in the company's current patent prosecution efforts, with all activity centered on 1 specific technical matter.
BOWMAN, ANDREW J is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, responsible for 1 pending office action. The prosecution activity is currently limited to this single point of contact within the patent office. This concentration allows for a very direct and focused approach to resolving the pending action, as there are no competing matters or different examiner styles to manage within the current portfolio.
The presence of only 1 distinct art unit suggests that the company's current innovation is highly specialized within the chemistry field. Practitioners can dedicate their resources to understanding the specific requirements of this 1 unit and examiner. While the portfolio is small, the lack of fragmentation simplifies the management of the company's intellectual property at this stage.
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.
