Contech Engineered Solutions LLC is active in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The company currently has 2 pending office actions. These actions are spread across 2 distinct art units, showing technical diversity for the pending applications. This distribution across 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's chemical innovations are being evaluated across different specialized technical branches of the patent office.
Prosecution for the portfolio involves 2 distinct examiners. PRINCE JR, FREDDIE GARY is the busiest examiner for the company. This examiner is handling 1 pending office action, which is one of the 2 pending office actions currently active. With 2 distinct examiners each handling one of the 2 pending office actions, the company faces a decentralized examination process. This requires a versatile legal strategy that can address the specific requirements of 2 different examiners and 2 different art units simultaneously.
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.
