Hanwha Advanced Materials Corporation maintains 1 pending office action in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This workload is distributed across 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. The presence of only one active matter indicates a streamlined or early-stage prosecution phase for the company's current filings in this specific technical domain.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is SHAH, SAMIR, who is currently handling 1 pending office action. This figure matches the total busiest examiner pending count of 1 for the company. With 1 distinct art unit involved, the prosecution is centralized within a single administrative division of the patent office. This narrow distribution across 1 distinct examiner suggests that the company's current legal efforts are focused on a singular point of examination. Practitioners can expect a highly localized interaction with the patent office given these metrics. This structure ensures that all active Chemistry & Materials matters are reviewed by the same individual, which may lead to a more consistent application of examiner preferences across the portfolio.
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.
