Lab Sync Inc. has 1 pending office action in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, THOMPSON, CURTIS A, who is also the busiest examiner for the portfolio. The prosecution is currently limited to 1 distinct art unit, reflecting a focused interaction with the patent office.
With only this pending office action, the portfolio's immediate prosecution activity is consolidated under a single individual. The relationship between pending actions and examiners means the company's current results in this technology area depend on the review of THOMPSON, CURTIS A. The presence of the distinct art unit further emphasizes the narrow technical scope of the current pending matters.
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.
