Gold Bond Building Products LLC has 14 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters are distributed among 13 distinct examiners and 7 distinct art units, showing broad examiner assignment within a more compact technical structure.
WEISS, PAMELA HL is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. Counsel may review those matters together for consistency, then compare them with the other art-unit assignments to determine whether claim-scope or prior-art issues reflect examiner practice or a broader technical grouping.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (8%) |
| §103 only | 5 (38%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (54%) |
