Graymont Western Canada Inc. currently manages 2 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed across distinct art units, reflecting different technical focuses within the company's materials-related filings. The prosecution involves distinct examiners, ensuring that each of the 2 pending actions is under the review of a different USPTO official.
ANTHONY J GREEN is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, though he is only responsible for 1 pending office action. With distinct examiners and art units involved for the active cases, there is no centralization in the company's current prosecution. This structure requires the company to manage separate tracks of communication and technical requirements. The presence of distinct art units suggests that the underlying technologies, while both in Chemistry & Materials, are sufficiently different to be categorized separately by the USPTO. Each pending action will likely follow a unique path toward allowance or rejection.
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.
