Lms Technologies Inc. has 2 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters are distributed across 2 examiners and 2 art units, requiring separate assessment of examiner treatment, technical issues, and response timing.
BUI, DUNG H is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. This examiner handles one part of the workload, so counsel should maintain a distinct plan for the other active examination track.
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 | 1 (33%) |
