Constellium Neuf-Brisach has 4 pending office actions focused on the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 4 actions are assigned to 4 distinct examiners, meaning no examiner is currently handling more than one active matter for the company. The prosecution is spread across 2 distinct art units, which suggests the portfolio covers at least two different chemical or material specializations.
ALDAZ CERVANTES, MAYELA RENATA is the busiest examiner, with 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This 1 action is part of the 4 pending office actions total. The use of 4 distinct examiners across only 2 distinct art units implies that multiple examiners are working within the same USPTO divisions, which could lead to some departmental consistency despite the different individual reviewers.
With 4 pending office actions and 4 distinct examiners, the company faces a variety of individual examination styles. The 2 distinct art units provide some level of departmental focus, even as the 4 distinct examiners operate independently. The busiest examiner pending count of 1 confirms that the workload is not concentrated in any single official's hands, requiring the applicant to address each of the 4 pending matters as a unique legal challenge.
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.
