Grupo Bimbo S A B De C V currently has 2 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that each pending matter is being handled independently by a different examiner in a different administrative group.
The busiest examiner, THAKUR, VIREN A, is assigned 1 pending office action. Because there are 2 distinct examiners for only 2 pending office actions, the company must address 2 different sets of examiner expectations simultaneously. The presence of 2 distinct art units within the Chemistry & Materials field suggests that the underlying technologies are distinct enough to be categorized into different administrative silos.
Practitioners should be aware that the prosecution of one action is unlikely to influence the other, given the separation of both examiners and art units. This lack of overlap means that Grupo Bimbo S A B De C V must maintain separate strategies for each of its 2 pending office actions. The small scale of the pending portfolio is balanced by its complete lack of examiner or art unit concentration. This structure requires the company to tailor its approach to 2 different sets of examiner expectations within the Chemistry & Materials field.
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.
