2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Klebchemie M G Becker GmbH & Co. Kg is currently navigating the patent prosecution process in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The company has 2 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, indicating a more diversified prosecution landscape than portfolios with a single pending matter.
The busiest examiner for this company is HERNANDEZ-KENNEY, JOSE, who is managing 1 pending office action. This means that the company's 2 pending office actions are split among multiple officials. The involvement of 2 distinct art units suggests that the technology may span different sub-sectors within the Chemistry & Materials field, requiring varied technical expertise from the patent office.
With 2 distinct examiners, the company has the opportunity to observe different examination styles. However, since the busiest examiner pending count is 1, no single examiner dominates the current workload. The prosecution strategy must account for the standards of multiple art units, which provides a broader base of interaction with the patent office than a single-unit portfolio, allowing for a more comparative analysis of procedural tendencies.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (50%) |
