Cvd Equipment Corporation is managing 4 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 4 actions are spread across 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units. This perfect distribution of 4 actions across 4 examiners and 4 art units suggests a diverse range of chemical or material science applications that do not overlap in their technical classification.
REYES, JOSHUA NATHANIEL PI is the busiest examiner with 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because each of the 4 pending office actions is being reviewed by a different examiner in a different art unit, the company faces a highly fragmented prosecution environment. Practitioners must be prepared to navigate 4 different sets of examiner preferences and 4 different art unit standards. This lack of concentration means that success in one case may not provide much guidance for the others. The company's current strategy in the Chemistry & Materials area involves a broad technical scope that requires individualized attention for each of the 4 pending matters.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 3 (75%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
