Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
6 pending office actions • 4 art units • 5 examiners • 0 of 6 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Coöperatie Koninklijke Avebe U A currently manages 6 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These matters are distributed among 5 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units. This distribution indicates a moderate level of concentration across the company's active prosecution matters, as the number of examiners and art units is lower than the total number of actions. This structure suggests that the company's chemical innovations are being reviewed by a relatively small group of specialized personnel.
MCCLAIN, TYNESHA L. is the busiest examiner for the company, currently handling 2 pending office actions. The remaining pending office actions are spread across 5 distinct examiners in 4 distinct art units. This requires the company to manage relationships with multiple examiners while navigating the specific requirements of several art units. For a practitioner, the presence of 2 pending office actions with a single examiner provides a point of focus within the 6 total pending matters, allowing for some strategic centralization.
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.
