The Foundation For Research And Business Seoul National University Of Science And Technology has 3 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct art units, showing a focused technical scope for the current portfolio. The prosecution involves 3 distinct examiners, which means that each of the active cases is being evaluated by a different individual at the USPTO.
NATALIE NMN IANNUZO is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action, illustrating that the workload is dispersed. With 3 distinct examiners managing the 3 pending office actions, the foundation must navigate three separate sets of examiner preferences within the 2 distinct art units. This distribution suggests that while the technical scope is limited, the individual examiner perspectives are varied. The applicant's strategy must account for the specific technical standards of the Chemistry & Materials area while addressing the unique feedback from each examiner.
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 | 3 (60%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (40%) |
