Institut De Recherche Technologique Jules Verne maintains a patent portfolio in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The company currently has 2 pending office actions. These are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, showing a lack of concentration in the review of these chemistry filings.
OMORI, MARY I is the busiest examiner, with 1 busiest examiner pending action. With 2 pending office actions in total, the workload is split evenly between the two examiners. The use of 2 distinct art units suggests that the chemistry and materials applications are being reviewed by different specialized technical groups. This requires the company to manage two separate prosecution tracks, each subject to the different standards and expectations of two distinct examiners and two different 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
