Geolith is currently prosecuting 1 pending office action in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This activity is confined to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. This concentration suggests a highly specialized technical focus for the company's current patent filings. DIAZ, MATTHEW R is the busiest examiner for Geolith, holding 1 busiest examiner pending action.
Because there is only 1 distinct examiner, the company's immediate prosecution success relies on navigating the specific requirements of this examiner. The presence of 1 distinct art unit further confirms the narrow technical scope of the active portfolio. For practitioners, the 1 pending office action represents the critical path for the company's Chemistry & Materials intellectual property. Engaging effectively with DIAZ, MATTHEW R is essential, as this 1 examiner controls the entirety of the current pending workload. This streamlined prosecution structure allows for a very targeted approach to securing patent rights for Geolith's innovations.
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.
