Kongju National University Industry-University Cooperation Foundation has 2 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These matters are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and a pair of distinct art units. CHAU, LINDA N is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently managing 1 pending office action.
The presence of the pending office actions across the assigned examiners and art units suggests a diversified prosecution profile within the Chemistry & Materials field. Each pending matter is handled by a different examiner in a different art unit, requiring separate strategies for each. CHAU, LINDA N handles 1 pending office action, representing a significant portion of the current pending workload. Practitioners should account for the unique procedural environment of each of the distinct art units. This structure indicates that the foundation's research output covers a range of technical sub-fields within the Chemistry & Materials area. Success in these matters will depend on addressing the specific requirements of the distinct art units and their respective examiners. The alignment of these figures reflects a broad approach to intellectual property development.
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%) |
