Mott Corporation has 2 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed between 2 distinct examiners. The prosecution spans 2 distinct art units, indicating that the company's chemistry-related applications fall into different technical categories. This distribution across 2 art units means the company must navigate different technical standards for its materials innovations.
BOWMAN, ANDREW J is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending office action. With 2 pending actions in total, the workload is split between the 2 examiners. The busiest examiner pending count of 1 confirms that each examiner is responsible for a single pending matter. For a practitioner, this requires managing 2 different examiner relationships across 2 separate technical groups at the patent office.
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.
