Ilika Technologies Ltd. maintains a company patent portfolio in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. There are 3 pending office actions for this portfolio. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. The busiest examiner for the company is IANNUCCI, LOUISE JAMES, who is handling 1 pending office action. This means that each of the 3 distinct examiners is responsible for a portion of the pending matters.
The distribution across 3 distinct art units indicates that the company's chemistry innovations are being reviewed by several different technical groups at the patent office. Because there are 3 pending office actions and 3 distinct examiners, the prosecution outcomes are subject to the interpretations of multiple reviewers. For a practitioner, this spread suggests that the company's current patenting efforts are not centralized under a single individual or art unit. The presence of IANNUCCI, LOUISE JAMES as the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action shows how the current legal matters are divided. This data reflects the current state of the company's interactions with the patent office across 3 distinct art units.
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.
