Mavorco Operations LLC manages 2 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These cases are distributed among 2 distinct examiners, meaning each pending action is handled by a different individual. Despite this distribution, the prosecution is centralized within 1 distinct art unit.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is FLORES SANCHEZ, OMAR, who is responsible for 1 pending case. Since the busiest examiner pending count is 1, the 2 pending office actions are evenly split between the 2 distinct examiners. Practitioners should note that while they must adapt to two different examiner styles, the single distinct art unit provides a consistent technical framework for the Chemistry & Materials filings. This balance of 2 distinct examiners within 1 distinct art unit suggests that the primary variation in prosecution will come from individual examiner preferences.
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.
