Körber Technologies GmbH has 9 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are split among 9 distinct examiners and 7 distinct art units. This means that every pending matter is being handled by a different examiner, though they are grouped into a smaller number of specialized units.
WEEKS, GLORIA R is the busiest examiner for this company, with 1 pending office action currently assigned. Since there are 9 pending office actions and 9 distinct examiners, the workload is perfectly spread out. The 7 distinct art units involved indicate that the Chemistry & Materials filings are reviewed by several different specialized groups. Practitioners should be aware that with 9 distinct examiners, they will need to navigate 9 different sets of examiner habits across the 9 pending office actions. The lack of examiner overlap suggests that the 9 pending office actions are technically diverse enough to be assigned to 9 different individuals, even though they fall within 7 distinct art units. This requires a highly individualized approach for each of the 9 pending office actions.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (20%) |
| §102 only | 2 (20%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (40%) |
