Comercial De Utiles Y Moldes S A is navigating 2 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners working across 2 distinct art units. This distribution shows that each pending matter is being reviewed by a different individual in a separate administrative unit. The 2 pending office actions are thus isolated from one another in the prosecution process.
SCHIFFMAN, BENJAMIN A is identified as the busiest examiner for this portfolio, responsible for 1 pending office action. Because there are 2 pending office actions in total, the workload is evenly split between the 2 distinct examiners. No single examiner holds a majority of the cases, as the 1 action assigned to SCHIFFMAN, BENJAMIN A is matched by the 1 action assigned to the other examiner. This lack of concentration means that the company's success is not overly dependent on any one individual's review.
The involvement of 2 distinct art units for only 2 actions suggests that the company's Chemistry & Materials innovations are categorized into different specialized groups. With 1 action assigned to SCHIFFMAN, BENJAMIN A, the prosecution landscape is balanced across the 2 distinct examiners. Practitioners should treat each of the 2 pending office actions as independent efforts within the Chemistry & Materials field.
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.
