National Centre For Scientific Research Demokritos maintains a company patent portfolio in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. Currently, the portfolio features 1 pending office action. This action is located within 1 distinct art unit, indicating a specific technical focus for the company's current intellectual property activities. For the applicant, this concentration in 1 art unit suggests that the examiner's review will be informed by a very specific set of prior art and technical standards common to that division.
The prosecution is managed by 1 distinct examiner, WEDDLE, ALEXANDER MARION. As the busiest examiner, WEDDLE, ALEXANDER MARION is assigned 1 busiest examiner pending action. Given that the total count of pending office actions is 1, this single examiner controls the entire active docket for the company. This 1 to 1 ratio between total pending actions and those assigned to the busiest examiner shows that all current legal hurdles for the company are consolidated under a single individual's review. This means the applicant's current strategy must be tailored to the specific expectations of WEDDLE, ALEXANDER MARION, as there are no other examiners or art units currently influencing the portfolio's progression.
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.
