Ketoneaid Inc. maintains a company patent portfolio in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The portfolio currently has 6 pending office actions. These actions are handled by 3 distinct examiners, indicating that each examiner is managing multiple actions for the company. Prosecution activity is distributed across 3 distinct art units, which suggests that the company's chemistry and materials innovations are being reviewed by several specialized groups within the USPTO.
STULII, VERA is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing 3 busiest examiner pending office actions. This means that one examiner is responsible for 3 out of the 6 pending office actions, representing a primary point of contact in the company's prosecution strategy. The distribution of 6 pending office actions across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units shows a concentrated effort where STULII, VERA handles a large portion of the current workload. This arrangement requires the company to maintain close communication with a small number of examiners.
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 (33%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (33%) |
