Intertape Polymer Corp. has 4 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. Each action is assigned to a distinct examiner and a distinct art unit, so the available portfolio is dispersed across both examination personnel and technical classifications.
RUSHING-TUCKER, CHINYERE J is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The figures support a matter-specific review model rather than examiner-level consolidation. Counsel can use standardized tracking for response issues while assessing each technical record independently.
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 | 2 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
