Licap Technologies Inc. has 4 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This indicates some overlap in personnel or technical groups during the prosecution process, which may allow for a more coordinated approach to certain technical arguments.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is DOVE, TRACY MAE, who is currently handling 2 pending office actions. This accounts for a portion of the company's 4 total pending actions, while the remaining matters are split between the other distinct examiners. Practitioners should observe that the involvement of 2 distinct art units within the Chemistry & Materials area suggests that the company's filings are being evaluated under a limited set of technical classifications. Managing 4 pending office actions across 3 distinct examiners requires the company to maintain consistency in its technical disclosures, especially where 2 actions are concentrated with DOVE, TRACY MAE. This concentration provides an opportunity to understand the specific preferences of the busiest examiner across half of the company's active matters.
