Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
5 pending office actions • 2 art units • 5 examiners • 0 of 5 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Hybrit Development AB is managing 5 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed among 5 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This suggests that while each action is handled by a different individual, there is overlap in the technical classifications. The presence of 5 pending office actions indicates the current level of ongoing activity in the company's chemistry and materials portfolio.
SHAMS, NAZMUN NAHAR is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 pending office action. Since there are 5 distinct examiners for the 5 pending office actions, the workload is evenly spread. The presence of only 2 distinct art units indicates that the company's chemistry and materials applications are concentrated within two specific technical areas. For practitioners, this means managing five separate examiner relationships while navigating the technical standards of only two art units, which may allow for consistency in the technical arguments used across different applications.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (20%) |
| §102 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (60%) |
