Evoq Nano Inc. has 4 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters involve 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, requiring coordination across multiple examination settings.
WALTERS JR, ROBERT S is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. Those matters provide a useful basis for coordinated review of recurring issues, while the remaining actions require responses tailored to their separate examiner and art-unit contexts.
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 | 2 (67%) |
