Createme Technologies Inc. is managing 3 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These cases are distributed across 2 distinct art units and involve 3 distinct examiners. This distribution shows that even with a small number of pending actions, the company's technology is diverse enough to be reviewed by different individuals. The busiest examiner, MUSSER, BARBARA J, is responsible for 1 pending office action, matching the workload of the other examiners.
With the 3 distinct examiners for the pending office actions, the company must prepare for different examination styles across the 2 distinct art units. This lack of examiner overlap means that no single individual has a dominant role in the current portfolio. The focus on the Chemistry & Materials technology area is spread across the art units, suggesting that the cases cover different aspects of chemical or material science that require specialized review from multiple divisions within the patent office. MUSSER, BARBARA J is among the officials involved.
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.
