Hesseling & Sons LLC is currently managing 1 pending office action in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This matter is being reviewed by 1 distinct examiner, which represents the total examiner engagement for the company's active portfolio. The involvement of 1 distinct art unit indicates that the prosecution is being conducted within a single technical group at the patent office, providing a focused environment for the evaluation of the company's claims.
The busiest examiner for the company is HERNANDEZ-KENNEY, JOSE, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Since the total count of pending office actions is 1, this examiner is the only one currently assigned to the company's active cases. The fact that the distinct examiner is handling the pending office action in the distinct art unit means that the company's immediate patent goals are tied to the review of this individual. This concentration of the pending office action under the examiner allows for a streamlined prosecution strategy within the Chemistry & Materials sector, as the company can focus its resources on one specific examiner relationship.
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.
