Henry Company LLC currently manages 5 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are spread across 5 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that the company's chemistry-related filings are being reviewed by a wide variety of officials. For the practitioner, this means that prosecution strategies must be tailored to five different sets of examiner expectations and art unit cultures.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is DEMUREN, BABAJIDE A, who handles 1 pending office action. With 5 pending actions in total, the workload is evenly split among the 5 distinct examiners. This balance ensures that no single official is responsible for more than one of the company's active matters. Navigating 5 distinct art units requires a deep understanding of how different sections of the patent office interpret material science and chemical patentability, as each unit may have its own specific focus.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (80%) |
