NAMICS Corporation has 4 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct art units, indicating that the company's chemical patent filings are being reviewed by multiple specialized groups within the patent office. This spread across the distinct art units indicates a range of chemical or material innovations that require different types of technical expertise for evaluation.
The portfolio involves 4 distinct examiners, with WILLIAMS, CEDRICK S identified as the busiest examiner. WILLIAMS, CEDRICK S is responsible for 1 pending office action. Since there are 4 pending office actions and 4 distinct examiners, the workload is distributed among the group. This distribution across the distinct examiners means that multiple individuals are influencing the company's pending chemistry and materials portfolio within the Chemistry & Materials area.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
