Marazzi Group Srl is currently prosecuting patents in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The portfolio contains 2 pending office actions, which suggests a focused but active engagement with the patent office. These 2 pending office actions represent the current pipeline of intellectual property that the company is seeking to secure.
The prosecution is divided between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that the company's filings in Chemistry & Materials cover multiple technical sub-specialties. WEYDEMEYER, ALICIA JANE is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This means that the workload is split, with a portion of the pending office actions assigned to this specific examiner.
For practitioners, the presence of 2 distinct art units means that the prosecution strategy must be tailored to different sets of internal office guidelines. The 2 pending office actions are being reviewed independently, and because WEYDEMEYER, ALICIA JANE only manages 1 busiest examiner pending office action, the company's success is balanced across multiple points of contact. This structure requires the company to monitor the specific tendencies of 2 distinct examiners to effectively manage its current standing in the Chemistry & Materials sector.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
