Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
3 pending office actions • 3 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 4 patents granted in the last 365 days
KROSAKIHARIMA Corporation has 3 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These matters are split among 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. Paul Alan Forsyth is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending office action assigned to the portfolio.
This distribution across different examiners and art units reflects a diverse set of chemical or material science applications. The current data shows that each of the 3 pending office actions is being handled by a unique examiner in a unique art unit. With 3 pending office actions spread across 3 distinct art units, the company's patenting activity appears to be specialized across different sub-fields of chemistry. The lack of examiner overlap means that prosecution strategies must be independently managed for each case. This decentralized structure suggests that the company's material science research is broad enough to trigger review by multiple examination groups. Practitioners should note the variety of examiners involved in the current workload, which may lead to different prosecution outcomes.
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 |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 1 (33%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
