Institut National Des Sciences Appliquees De Rennes has 3 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. All 3 pending office actions are concentrated within 1 distinct art unit, indicating a very specific technical focus. However, the prosecution involves distinct examiners for each matter. PRESSLEY, PAUL DEREK is the busiest examiner, currently overseeing 1 pending office action for the institution.
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.
