Momentive Performance Materials Japan LLC currently has 3 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 3 pending office actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is reviewing a single application. The prosecution is also spread across 3 distinct art units, indicating a variety of technical focuses within the chemistry field.
AHVAZI, BIJAN is the busiest examiner for the company, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Since there are 3 distinct examiners for the 3 pending office actions, the workload is evenly divided. The 3 distinct art units involved suggest that the company's chemical innovations are being reviewed by different specialized groups at the patent office.
Practitioners should be prepared to navigate the requirements of 3 distinct examiners across 3 distinct art units. The lack of examiner overlap among the 3 pending office actions means that each case will likely be examined independently. AHVAZI, BIJAN, as the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action, represents a part of a broader prosecution effort involving 3 distinct 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
