Kcc Corporation has 2 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These matters are split between distinct examiners, each working in a distinct art unit. This distribution means that every active matter is being handled by a different examiner in a different specialized group. The use of 2 pending office actions suggests that the company's technology spans multiple sub-sectors within the Chemistry & Materials field, which may require a diverse set of legal strategies to address the requirements of each department. Practitioners should note that the workload is not concentrated under a single person, which may lead to different prosecution timelines.
STRAH, ELI D is the busiest examiner for this entity, managing 1 busiest examiner pending action. Although he is the busiest, his 1 busiest examiner pending action is matched by another examiner, as there are multiple distinct examiners in total. The distinct art units involved provide a diversified examination environment for the matters currently active for Kcc Corporation. This structure allows for a broader range of feedback from the USPTO, as the 2 pending office actions are subject to the standards of different technical groups. Practitioners can use this lack of concentration to develop independent arguments for each case without the risk of a single examiner's perspective dominating the entire portfolio.
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.
