3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 3 patents granted in the last 365 days
Core Pacific Inc. has 3 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These involve 3 distinct examiners but are concentrated within 1 distinct art unit. This suggests that while different individuals are reviewing the applications, they are all within the same technical group.
PATEL, PRANAV N is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. Since there are 3 distinct examiners for 3 pending office actions, the workload is distributed. The focus within 1 distinct art unit may lead to more consistent technical requirements across the 3 pending office actions.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (67%) |
