Lisa Dräxlmaier GmbH has 2 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These matters are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, which indicates that each of the company's active cases is being reviewed by a different person. The portfolio is currently active within 1 distinct art unit, suggesting that the company's patenting efforts are focused on a specific technical category within the chemistry and materials field.
TRINH, MINH N is the busiest examiner for the company, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Because there are 2 pending office actions in total, the workload is split between 2 distinct examiners. Since the company's work is confined to 1 distinct art unit, practitioners can expect a consistent technical framework even as they interact with different examiners. Focusing on the specific patterns of each examiner will be important for resolving the company's pending cases. The 2 pending office actions represent a concentrated but divided prosecution effort.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 6 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (6%) |
| §103 only | 4 (24%) |
| §102 only | 1 (6%) |
| §112 only | 1 (6%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (53%) |
