Evoloh Inc. is currently engaged in the prosecution of 2 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, representing a diversification of the review process for the company's current active cases. This means that each of the 2 pending actions is being evaluated by a different person in a different department, requiring a versatile legal strategy to address the varying requirements of the patent office.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is KEELING, ALEXANDER W, who is currently responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Because there are 2 pending office actions in total and 2 distinct examiners, the workload is split, with KEELING, ALEXANDER W handling a portion of the active matters. This distribution ensures that no single examiner or art unit has total control over the company's current applications in the Chemistry & Materials sector, as the 2 distinct art units provide different administrative environments for each case.
With 2 pending office actions being reviewed by 2 distinct examiners, the company must manage separate prosecution tracks. The involvement of 2 distinct art units further suggests that the subject matter of the applications may span different technical niches within Chemistry & Materials. The role of KEELING, ALEXANDER W as the busiest examiner with 1 busiest examiner pending action highlights the individualized nature of the hurdles currently facing the company's intellectual property portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
