Magotteaux International S A has 3 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are spread across 3 distinct examiners. These examiners operate within 2 distinct art units, indicating that the actions are split across different technical groups. The 2 distinct art units suggest a slightly broader technical scope than a single-unit portfolio.
The busiest examiner is SHAMS, NAZMUN NAHAR, who is handling 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since there are 3 pending office actions and 3 distinct examiners, each examiner is responsible for one action. This distribution prevents any single examiner from dominating the portfolio's current prosecution. The company must coordinate three separate examiner relationships to resolve the 3 pending office actions.
With SHAMS, NAZMUN NAHAR managing 1 busiest examiner pending action, the practitioner should tailor the response to her specific requirements. The presence of 2 distinct art units may involve different technical sub-specialties within Chemistry & Materials. Success across the 3 distinct examiners will require a case-specific approach. This administrative structure ensures that the 3 pending office actions are reviewed by a diverse group of examiners.
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.
