Desmet Ballestra S P A has 1 pending office action within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The current prosecution is handled by a distinct examiner and a distinct art unit, representing a narrow scope of activity.
BOYER, RANDY is the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 pending office action. This examiner oversees the total pending volume, which focuses the company's current interactions with the patent office in the identified 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.
