Colgate University is currently overseeing 1 pending office action within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, reflecting a singular focus for the university's current prosecution efforts. The filing is located within 1 distinct art unit, suggesting that the immediate technical scope of the university's work in this field is highly specific.
The busiest examiner identified for the university is BROOKS, KREGG T, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. This single action represents the entirety of the university's current pending office actions. Because there is only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit involved, the prosecution strategy is exceptionally centralized. Practitioners should focus on the specific examination style of BROOKS, KREGG T to efficiently resolve the 1 pending office action. The narrow technical footprint within 1 distinct art unit allows for a very precise legal approach to securing patent rights for the university's chemical and material science innovations.
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.
