Fette Compacting GmbH has 5 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are handled by 5 distinct examiners. This distribution means that every one of the 5 pending office actions is being reviewed by a different individual. The portfolio is spread across 4 distinct art units, indicating that the company's Chemistry & Materials filings are categorized into several different technical groups.
ROBINSON, MICHAEL is the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 pending office action. This confirms that no single examiner handles more than one of the 5 total pending actions. Because ROBINSON, MICHAEL is one of 5 distinct examiners each managing a single case, there is no concentration of work with any one person. This decentralized structure across 4 distinct art units suggests that the company's success depends on five independent reviews.
The presence of 4 distinct art units for 5 actions shows a high level of administrative variety for a small portfolio. With 5 distinct examiners involved, the company must manage five separate prosecution tracks. ROBINSON, MICHAEL is just one of the five examiners contributing to the 5 pending office actions currently active. Practitioners should prepare for a diverse range of technical reviews across these 4 distinct art units in the Chemistry & Materials field.
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.
