2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 4 patents granted in the last 365 days
Heliatek GmbH has 2 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners but are concentrated within 1 distinct art unit. This suggests that while multiple examiners are involved, the technical scope of the filings is very consistent. The use of 2 distinct examiners for 2 pending actions means that the company's success is not dependent on a single individual, even though both matters are being evaluated within the same 1 distinct art unit.
MOAZZAM HOSSAIN is the busiest examiner, managing 1 busiest examiner pending action. This accounts for 1 of the 2 pending office actions currently active for the company. The use of 1 distinct art unit for both pending actions indicates a unified examination environment despite the involvement of 2 distinct examiners. Practitioners should look for commonalities in the 2 pending actions to create a cohesive strategy that satisfies the requirements of the 1 distinct art unit while addressing the specific feedback from each of the 2 distinct examiners.
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 |

| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
