Gkn Aerospace Services Limited currently has 2 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 2 actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, meaning each matter is being reviewed by a different individual. However, both of these actions are located within 1 distinct art unit, which suggests that the underlying technology is consistently classified despite the involvement of multiple examiners. The use of 1 distinct art unit for all 2 pending office actions may allow for some overlap in the technical arguments used.
LISOWSKI, JACEK is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently managing 1 pending office action. The other pending action is handled by the second of the 2 distinct examiners. This arrangement requires the company to navigate two different examiner styles while operating within the same 1 distinct art unit. Practitioners can benefit from the technical consistency of the art unit while tailoring their legal arguments to the specific preferences of the 2 distinct examiners.
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.
