Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
6 pending office actions • 3 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 6 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 3 patents granted in the last 365 days
Macdermid Enthone Inc. has 7 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed among 5 distinct examiners, which suggests some overlap in the personnel reviewing the company's applications. The prosecution work is further organized across 4 distinct art units, indicating a relatively focused technical scope. The 7 pending office actions represent a moderate volume of activity requiring coordinated management.
HASKE, WOJCIECH is identified as the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently managing 2 busiest examiner pending actions. This means that one individual is responsible for a significant fraction of the 7 pending office actions. The presence of 5 distinct examiners for 7 actions implies that most examiners are handling only one or two cases each. The 4 distinct art units suggest that the company's filings are concentrated in specific chemical classifications.
For a practitioner, the concentration of 2 actions with HASKE, WOJCIECH allows for a more targeted approach to understanding that specific examiner's preferences. The overall volume of 7 pending office actions is manageable but requires coordination across the 4 different art units. Effectively navigating the 5 distinct examiners will be key to successful prosecution. The 4 distinct art units provide a stable procedural framework for the majority of the pending cases.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 | 2 (33%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (50%) |
