Firehawk Aerospace Inc. currently has 3 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 3 actions are assigned to 3 distinct examiners, ensuring that each pending matter is handled by a different individual. The prosecution is active across 3 distinct art units, which indicates that each of the company's pending applications is classified into a different specialized group.
The busiest examiner, HINES, LATOSHA D, is responsible for 1 pending office action. With a total of 3 pending office actions and 3 distinct examiners, the workload is evenly split, with each examiner managing one matter. The presence of 3 distinct art units suggests that the 3 pending office actions are subject to the specific standards of three different examination environments, despite all being within the chemistry field.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| §112 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
