Nanoramic Inc. is currently managing 4 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This workload is distributed across 4 distinct examiners, indicating a variety of perspectives being applied to the company's patent applications. Furthermore, the portfolio involves 4 distinct art units, which suggests that the company's technical reach within Chemistry & Materials is broad enough to trigger reviews from multiple specialized groups at the patent office. This level of diversity requires a multi-faceted prosecution strategy to address different examiner tendencies.
The busiest examiner for the company is LI, AIQUN, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. This individual handles 1 of the 4 pending office actions, meaning the workload is spread among 4 distinct examiners. The presence of 4 distinct art units highlights a complex prosecution landscape where no single department dominates the company's current activity. Practitioners must account for varied standards when coordinating responses across the Nanoramic Inc. portfolio, especially given the involvement of LI, AIQUN.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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.
