Des-Case Corporation currently manages 1 pending office action within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This single active matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner working within 1 distinct art unit. The concentrated nature of this portfolio suggests a highly specific focus for their current patent prosecution efforts, as there is no distribution across different administrative bodies at the patent office.
The busiest examiner for the company is DIETERLE, JENNIFER M, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because this examiner handles the only pending action in the portfolio, the busiest examiner pending count of 1 represents the entirety of the company's current workload. This alignment between the total pending actions and the busiest examiner's load indicates a lack of examiner diversity in their current filings. For practitioners, this means that the outcome of the company's current prosecution pipeline is entirely dependent on the decisions of this single examiner and the specific practices of their assigned art unit.
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.
