Lumiradx UK Ltd. has 5 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters involve 4 distinct examiners across 4 distinct art units, indicating a distributed prosecution profile with some repeated examiner or assignment structure reflected in the docket. Counsel should coordinate material and chemistry positions while adapting each response to the relevant examination record.
KASS, BENJAMIN JOSEPH is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That examiner handles a significant portion of the identified work, making recurring claim limitations and response themes worth tracking. The remaining matters still require independent analysis, particularly where composition, processing, or material properties are treated differently by the assigned art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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.
