Henry Company LLC is currently navigating 4 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These matters are distributed among 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that the pending matters are being evaluated in unique technical and administrative contexts. The presence of 4 distinct art units suggests that the company's filings in Chemistry & Materials are technically diverse. The 4 pending office actions represent separate points of engagement with the patent office.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is DEMUREN, BABAJIDE A, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Since the 4 distinct examiners are only handling 1 matter apiece, the workload is balanced across the active personnel. Practitioners must prepare for different examiner styles across the 4 distinct art units involved. This variety in the prosecution landscape requires a broad understanding of various Chemistry & Materials sub-specialties to successfully resolve the 4 pending office actions. The 4 distinct examiners involved will provide unique feedback on the company's applications.
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.
