Matteo Longo currently manages 1 pending office action in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This 1 case is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and is located in 1 distinct art unit. The current patent prosecution profile is highly centralized, with only 1 active matter currently pending. This focus allows for a very specific prosecution strategy directed at a single examiner within a single technical division of the patent office.
CONLEY, SEAN EVERETT is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, holding the 1 pending office action. With only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit involved, the immediate efforts in the chemistry sector are focused on this 1 interaction. Practitioners can concentrate their efforts on the specific requirements of CONLEY, SEAN EVERETT within the 1 art unit. The outcome of this 1 pending office action will significantly impact the immediate status of the current Chemistry & Materials filings.
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.
